How do I work?

I work “integratively”. This means that I draw on a combination of therapeutic approaches to suit your individual needs.

This includes:

  • psychodynamic and humanistic counselling
  • cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)
  • hypnotherapy
  • mindfulness
  • holistic approaches

These approaches can be combined and tailored to fit your situation and your personality. Maybe you find exploring the past a good way to make sense of troubling issues? Maybe you prefer to work in the present? Together we can explore what works best for you.

What does it all mean?

Don’t be put off by these psychological terms. Here’s what they mean (if you’re still not sure, please get in touch and we can talk it through):

  • Psychodynamic counselling explores your past and the patterns that are repeated throughout your life.
  • Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) deals with the present and focuses on changing thoughts and behaviours. It is a fairly structured approach, which may involve the use of worksheets and work in between sessions.
  • Mindfulness is a specific way of intentionally paying attention. One negative thought can lead to a chain reaction of negative thoughts. Breaking this reaction of negative thoughts gives a mental “space” in which you can learn to ground yourself in the present.
  • Hypnotherapy
  • Holistic approaches take into account your mind, body, spirit, community and environment. There is no point isolating individual symptoms if you ignore other aspects of your lifestyle and social networks. Holistic approaches foster a richer, deeper understanding of what is actually going on.
  • Humanistic counselling focuses on self-development, growth and responsibilities, looking to help you recognise your strengths, creativity and personal choice.
