I work integratively and welcome you as you are in mind, body and spirit. 
 
It can be helpful to have a non-judgmental and confidential space to explore what is happening in your life with someone who is not a part of your friend or family group. This is especially true in times of crisis or inner conflict, as well as the times when we feel isolated or unable to manage change. 
 
I believe that when we encounter difficulties in life, time and attention are sources for healing, integration and growth. It is this deeper listening and facilitation that is at the heart of the therapeutic relationship.

As an integrative therapist I work with different therapeutic models in mind, but always with a prevailing focus on you: who you are and who you are becoming. 
 
Talking therapy can help you feel more confident in yourself and your choices, and more able to meet life’s challenges with awareness and creativity.

Counselling refers to time-limited work focused on a specific issue or outcome. It is usually time-limited, with the length agreed in the first few weeks.
 
Psychotherapy refers to open-ended work. It may not be possible to name the problem you’re bringing when you first arrive, or there may be several problems creating an overall pattern in your life. The process of psychotherapy is usually slower. Clarity about the scope and goals of therapy emerge from within the sessions, along with an agreement to work towards resolving these.
