You may be considering therapy for various reasons, be that relationship issues, trauma, bereavement, anxiety, stress, or you may feel stuck and unable to harness your full potential. In all these instances therapy can help to unpack your difficulties and gain a new perspective and clarity on a situation. The strength of the relationship between myself and my clients is central to my practice. It is essential that you feel comfortable with the person you're working with. I nurture my clients trust, and create a non-judgemental, safe, supportive and open-minded space. I’m not what’s called a “blank screen therapist”; I bring myself to our work, and I engage in a here-and-now dialogue with my clients. I see therapy as a collaborative process and I always encourage honest and open feedback. What is relational integrative psychotherapy? Relational psychotherapy emphasis the importance of good quality relationships. In therapy this involves; using our relationship as a tool for building self-awareness and healing, whilst exploring relationships past and present, to help you better understand how these have shape the way you relate to yourself and others. Being an integrative therapist means I tailor our work to your individual needs. I draw from different psychotherapeutic models, namely psychodynamic and humanistic and somatic approaches. Practice description: My work is underpinned by my commitment to diversity and inclusion. I am a neurodivergent affirming therapist, and I welcome clients from all cultures, gender identities, sexualities and relationships types. I work from a trauma-informed perspective, holding in mind the impact that trauma can have on relationships, emotional regulation and behavioural patterns. Specialisms: - Supporting new mothers I have a specialist interest in maternal mental health, supporting clients with the huge transition into parenthood. Additionally, I offer stand-alone therapy sessions for mothers (and partners) who have experienced a traumatic or difficult birth; offering a space to reflect and process their experience. More information can be found on my website. - Psychosexual and relationship therapy I'm currently undertaking a post-graduate diploma in psychosexual and relationship therapy. Whilst completing this,, I'm offering a reduced fee for couples and individuals looking for specific support in this area. Your first session: Finding the right therapist for you is really important, so if you have any initial questions I am more than happy to have a brief chat on the phone. Following this we would meet for a consultation session. This is an opportunity for you to discuss in more detail what brings you to therapy, and for you to decide whether we can work together.
