Therapeutic Approaches

Counselling and psychotherapy are often used interchangeably; they can represent different focuses. There’s no need to worry about choosing if you are unsure—together, we can decide which approach suits you best.

Counselling focuses on your current challenges, offering support, guidance and coping strategies. It’s a goal-oriented, short-term process where we collaborate to address what matters most right now. Together, we’ll explore solutions and develop approaches you can apply between sessions to build resilience and confidence.

Psychotherapy offers a deeper dive—exploring underlying emotional patterns, unconscious material, and supporting long-term personal growth. While we may start by addressing surface-level concerns, these often point toward deeper roots in areas you haven’t yet mapped. As your therapist, I’ll hold a warm, professional space as we navigate this unknown territory together. Because this work unfolds over time, it may require more sessions, allowing insights and healing to emerge gradually as we go.

• My integrative approach combines elements of psychodynamic therapy, Gestalt, CBT, and psychosynthesis modalities, tailored to each client’s individual needs. I offer a compassionate, confidential space where you can explore your inner experience, build self-awareness, and create meaningful change.

• Psychodynamic Therapy: Explores how early experiences and unconscious patterns shape your current struggles.

• Gestalt Therapy: Encourages awareness of what’s happening in the present moment—emotionally, mentally, and physically.

• CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy): Offers practical tools for challenging unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.

• Psychosynthesis: Supports integration of different parts of the self, including spiritual or existential aspects.

• This flexible, personalised blend allows me to meet you where you are—emotionally, mentally, and practically.
