As an integrative counsellor my approach involves drawing upon more than one counselling modality, blending relevant theory and interventions to suit the particular needs of my clients. Perhaps you want to understand what maybe at the root of persistent high anxiety or depression, understand why you are repeating patterns and then very critical of yourself? Find out what is at the root of it to understand and be able to offer yourself compassion instead, and make positive changes. Or just talk in a confidential and non-judgemental safe space, where exploration can help to find solutions. Identify areas that are not in alignment to your 'true self' or discover defensive strategies/patterns of behaviours that are no longer helpful and holding you back, so you can become more self-aware to be able choose positive changes.
I have a specialism in (though not limited to) adult ADHD/ADD clients to help them understand who they are, that with the right support and understanding, they can reach their true potential, move forward and lead fulfilling lives. I work with specialist organisations and promote education around ADHD/ADD, with so much misunderstanding of this, and in particular ADD (where hyperactivity is not as prominent).
I also specialise using 'Inner-Child' therapy to meet the needs that were not met as a child, allowing exploration of implicit beliefs and coping strategies that are unhelpful as an adult, holding back growth and unprocessed emotions causing inner turmoil.
Experienced with childhood abuse, domestic abuse, complicated bereavement and loss, self-harm. Understanding dealing with loved ones who are suffering with mental health issues.
