I do not currently have availability for new clients.

 

I offer individual therapy for adults and young people (16+). My professional training is integrative - a progressive form of psychotherapy that combines a range of therapeutic tools and approaches to fit the needs of the individual client.

 

"Integrative counselling aims to promote healing and facilitate wholeness - ensuring that all levels of a person's being and functioning (mental, physical and emotional health) are maximised to their full potential. Clients must be committed to self-reflection / exploration and be open to identifying what factors in their life are perpetuating problems, and/or are causing current concerns." - Read more about integrative therapy here

 - I am professionally required to review my work periodically with a supervisor in the service of high quality clinical practice, though will never share your full name.

 - I might feel the need to share information with relevant parties such as your GP only if I believe you are in imminent danger of seriously harming yourself or someone else. I would always endeavour to discuss any such intentions with you first.
