My Philosophy & Approach

As a Relationship and Wellness Psychotherapist, and Holistic Practitioner, I am committed to an integrative, client-centred approach with a systemic perspective. My goal is to guide individuals, couples and families towards a more harmonious and balanced life, ensuring therapy is uniquely tailored to meet the distinct needs and aspirations of each client.

I emphasise a deep understanding and respect for the personal experiences and goals of my clients. My focus extends beyond specific mental health conditions to engage clients in a collaborative journey exploring the myriad factors influencing their overall well-being. This includes addressing stress, anxiety, relationship dynamics, lifestyle habits, and emotional concerns, all through a lens that centres on the unique perspectives and voices of each client.

The primary objective is to empower my clients, enhancing their mental, emotional, and physical health through a client-centred ethos. This approach builds on the autonomy and strengths of individuals and relationships, fostering positive change and elevating psychological well-being and resilience.

In my sessions, clients find a non-judgmental, lifestyle-friendly space to share personal and relational details openly. This supportive environment is crucial for discussing matters that are deeply personal without fear of judgement.

My journey with clients involves setting personalised goals, exploring thoughts and emotions, identifying barriers, and developing effective coping strategies. Recognising the limits of talk therapy alone, I advocate for an integrative and holistic approach that appreciates the connections between thoughts, emotions, physical health, and overall well-being.

The foundation of my approach to therapy includes a diverse range of techniques and perspectives, each chosen to uniquely support the diverse needs of my clients:

• Mindfulness-Based Therapy
• Psychosensory Therapy (eg. Emotional Freedom Technique - EFT)
• Systemic Family Therapy
• Somatic IFS Therapy (Parts Work)
• Nature-Based Therapy
• Expressive Creative Arts Therapy
• Solutions Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)
• Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT)
• Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) 

These approaches are dynamically integrated, tailored to enhance the profound mind-body connection, and are guided by both contemporary and Eastern philosophies of well-being.

My client-centred, integrative approach is a commitment to understanding and embracing the full spectrum of individuality and relational dynamics. This fosters wellness through an integrated awareness strategy, respecting and valuing every aspect of my clients' journeys.

My ultimate goal is to restore and maintain balance in the overall well-being of my clients, honouring their unique paths at every step of the way. Together, we strive to cultivate a more optimistic outlook, develop robust coping mechanisms, and achieve heightened awareness and life satisfaction.
