Approach and help

Approach and
help

I am a Humanistic Integrative therapist, primarily using the Person-centred approach, blending further theories, concepts and techniques to support you, and help you make sense of life. Therapy is often an on-going process requiring commitment in order to benefit from making positive and significant changes to one’s life; it takes time to explore the relationship you have with yourself and with others. Sessions are reviewed on a regular basis as we evolve together. This ensures I adjust my style to meet my client’s distinct requirements.

I work with:
Adults
Neurodivergent adults
Older adults
Organisations

ONEplus

ONEplus

ONEplus is suitable for a variety or contexts and needs, and an opportunity to experience the benefits of a therapeutic environment. It also avoids lengthy therapy waiting lists. It’s not crisis counselling if you are experiencing a mental health emergency. You’ll receive effective therapeutic support that’s dynamic and delivered to those seeking help when working through specific issues swiftly, i.e. to strengthen a relationship, tackle a problem, improve listening and communication skills, etc. It’s designed to help you help yourself under specific circumstances. This session is a two-hour slot as opposed to the traditional block of therapy sessions and it’s possible for clients to develop and maintain what they’ve found to be self-helping; however, single-session therapy isn’t necessarily restricted to one appointment.

SHORT OR LONG TERM COUNSELLING AND PSYCHOTHERAPY

SHORT OR LONG TERM
COUNSELLING
AND PSYCHOTHERAPY

Time limited therapy is suitable for those with a specific objective in mind and you may only require 6 sessions – 12 sessions. On-the-other-hand, some clients prefer a more structured approach that requires deeper introspection to explore deep rooted emotions.

REWIND THERAPY

REWIND THERAPY

A brief psychological technique used mainly to treat trauma & conditions like PTSD. It works by guiding a person to mentally “rewind” & replay a distressing memory in a safe, controlled way so the brain can reprocess the event without the intense emotional reaction. Instead of reliving the trauma, the memory becomes more like a distant, neutral story, which reduces symptoms such as anxiety, flashbacks, & fear. The approach is typically fast (sometimes just a few sessions), doesn’t require detailed verbal recounting of the trauma. It focuses on changing how the memory is stored rather than its factual content.
