An Integrated Therapist works with clients using a variety of different helping theories and models of therapy. I work in this way because every client is different and will respond to different helping strategies.

I use in my work a seamless mixture of helping tools to include ‘Person Centred’ which is at the very heart of my practice, ‘Gestalt Therapy’, ‘Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)’, ‘Solution Based Brief Therapy’, ‘Transactional Analysis’, 'Emotional Freedom Technique', ‘Career Development Counselling Theories such as those of Carl Rodgers and Gerard Egan’ and the British Academy of Sound’s: ‘The Cooper Sax 5 R’s Model of Experiential Processing’.

For me, the main body of my work with clients is founded on our working relationship together, by forming a trusting and safe space to explore what is needed and where no topic is off the table. A time and place for clients to feel safe, heard and to find voice.

Working together can be brief (Counselling) in order to address initial concerns and helping strategies and might consist of six to twelve sessions. Some clients work with me for longer (Psychotherapy) where we explore problems more deeply to enable implicit awareness and to support positive change. Some clients pop in and out after they have initially tried counselling. 

This is your process and needs to work as you need it to. I am here to support that.

Added to these ways of working and in response to what you might bring to work on, I am a creative person and might also include, when appropriate, various creative helping strategies to include “Body work and Mindfulness’ ‘Exposure Therapy’ ‘Sand Tray’ ‘Narrative Therapy/Poetry/Journaling’ ‘Photographic Exploration’, ‘Art and Drama Therapy’, ‘Nature Therapy’, ‘Flower and Plant work’ and others.
