My therapy style............ Adopting a warm and collaborative framework, I work with clients to understand the factors that underlie their concerns in a non-judgemental space. I aim to keep therapy 'approachable' by focussing on the client's strengths to promote independence and personal growth. My key therapeutic techniques include: cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), acceptance commitment therapy (ACT) with mindfulness and emotion regulation strategies. I also incorporate aspects of Schema Therapy, which explores how our early life experiences impact our wellbeing.
