In other words, whatever is going on for you, let's talk, I'm here to listen.

My therapeutic orientation and core values

As a psychotherapist, I believe everyone is unique and has within them resources for growth, development and change. I aim to facilitate this process of change by allowing the client to experience from me, the quality of psychological contact and the core conditions of empathy, unconditional positive regard and congruence.

Experiencing these core conditions I believe, encourages a focus on feelings, senses, personal meanings and connections so that the individual’s personal resources for change and development can be realised. Central to my work is my capacity to be open to my own internal world and the way in which it encounters that of their client.

I believe it is through our internal world that we understand our outer reality, where the past is alive and dynamically active in the present. I think our inner world is full of meaningful relationships that are consciously known, unconsciously experienced and frequently defended against. In therapy, I believe these current and past relationships are experienced and understood through the prism of transference and counter-transference relationships.

As a psychotherapist, I make use of both the real person-to-person relationship and the transference relationship to help the client facilitate more authentic and happier ways of being with themselves and others. I am a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and comply with their ethical code.
