Approach
I am an Integrative Psychotherapist, Counsellor, and Coach. I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches to tailor my work to your individual needs, including:
- Person-Centred Therapy
- Psychodynamic Therapy
- Humanistic Therapy
- Holistic Therapy
- Existential Therapy
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
- Behavioural Therapy
- Rational Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (RCBT)
- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
- Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy

- Mindfulness-Based Therapy
- Mindful Breathing and Relaxation Therapy
My integrative approach also considers how cultural heritage can influence emotions, thought patterns, and the way you see the world. This includes exploring the impact of race, religion, culture, family values, social inequality, and wider social influences, as well as how these shape your internal dialogue and relationships with yourself and others.
