How I work
My immediate concern is to help you overcome problems and the
unhappiness they cause. Although people will have different
presenting issues, they have a common base. In each condition the
person does not feel free to be him or her self and to live
productively or fully because of the constriction from within. While
this lack of freedom manifests itself differently in different people,
it is always a fundamental issue in my psychotherapy practice.
I explore the dynamics within the therapeutic relationship and how
these may extend to other relationships.
I believe in a step by step process towards self awareness and your
growth potential, and I encourage your involvement in this active
process.

About Psychotherapy and Counselling
Psychotherapy is not a process in which
a therapist 'cures' you or does something to you.
It is an active learning process with your active involvement.
Psychotherapy as I practice it explores how you interact with the world
and yourself. It helps you understand the origins of your belief
structures and how these may be limiting your life and your potential.
Psychotherapy and Counselling are complimentary. Whilst psychotherapy
'peels away the layers of the onion'. working on underlying causes, the
counselling element also helps to alleviate symptoms and creativity
through empathic understanding, instillation of hope and normalisation
of the problem. I teach life coping skills, such as more effective
communication within relationships, limit setting (boundaries), and
relaxation techniques.
