About me and my practice

My approach is integrative and heavily based on the person-centered approach pioneered by Carl Rogers. I prefer to fit theories around clients rather than vice versa. I therefore draw on a range of different models according to client needs. I often like to work with imagery, dreams, the body and creative approaches such as drawing, clay-modelling or writing as ways of accessing deeper-than-everyday levels of consciousness, and have a particular interest in the application of mindfulness as a way of learning to relate to emotions and thoughts in a more healthy way.

I qualified as an Embodied Therapy earlier this year with the Institute of Embodied Psychotherapy, and have a qualification in Interpersonal Therapy for Depression (IPT) gained through my NHS position in 2021. I believe that a "bottom up" approach using the body is can be a gateway to deeper levels of awareness which are often difficult to reach through cognitive work alone, and that the body is a much underestimated resource in the healing process.
