Approachable and Supportive Environment
When you come to the session, I make sure that you feel welcome. I relate well to my clients and create atmosphere of trust, acceptance and respect. I will greet you with a smile and offer a cup of tea so you can relax, particularly if it is your first visit to a psychotherapist.
I work from a humanistic approach and my core belief is that each of us has the resources to be a fully functioning, well balanced indivudual. However, various events in life may disrupt that ability and this is when we need help.
I use several methods in therapy so that I can help most accurately and efficiently, according to the needs, preferences and abilities of the client.
If you would like to have an initial consultation session where I can help you reach a better understanding of the causes of your distress and explore options that are available to you, so that your life starts to feel more fulfilling again, then please contact me.
