My Specialisms

I have trained in the following approaches: cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT); acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT); dialectical behavioural therapy (DBT); mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) and cognitive analytic therapy (CAT). I have taken up further specialist training in CAT and you can read more about this way of working by visiting the Association for Cognitive Analytic Therapy (ACAT) at acat.me.uk. Essentially, CAT is a collaborative, pragmatic and relational model which can be used to help people with a wide range of difficulties.

Approach to Psychotherapy & How I Work

I seek to explore and understand a person's difficulties and needs collaboratively with them, and within a warm and non-judgmental therapeutic relationship. Working together in this way we can come to recognise stuck patterns which might hold us back in our lives.

By kindly understanding how these patterns came to be and what might activate them (often unconsciously), we can develop the potential to better know them when they arise and make a conscious decision to instead head off in a different direction. It is my role to help you recognise these patterns and to support you in making the changes that are acceptable and helpful to you.

My work tends to be emotionally and relationally focused with an analytic emphasis. Whilst I am influenced by Jungian concepts, the breadth of my clinical training allows me to draw from several models to individually tailor therapy to a person's needs.
