What is Psychotherapeutic Counselling?

Psychotherapeutic counselling is a collaborative process that helps you gain deeper understanding, awareness, and acceptance of yourself. Together, we’ll explore:

  • The issues or challenges you bring to therapy.
  • How we relate to one another in the present moment to uncover patterns rooted in the past.
  • Your aspirations, goals, and what you feel drawn to in life.
My Approach: Integrative and Holistic

As an integrative therapist, I draw on a rich blend of psychological approaches tailored to your unique needs. These include:

  • Gestalt Therapy: Emphasising present-moment awareness and the integration of thoughts, feelings, and actions.
  • Internal Family Systems (IFS): Exploring and harmonising the different parts of yourself.
  • Developmental Psychology: Understanding how early experiences shape your current ways of being.
  • Humanistic and Psychodynamic Approaches: Honouring your inner growth and the unconscious dynamics at play.
  • Eco-Psychology: Exploring the connection between your well-being and the natural world.
  • Jungian Concepts: Delving into symbolism, archetypes, and the unconscious to enrich self-awareness.
  • Relational and Body Psychotherapy: Working with the mind-body connection to deepen healing and understanding.
  • Neuroscience: Applying insights into how the brain influences emotions, behaviour, and resilience.

I emphasise somatic work, recognising that trauma is often stored in the body. Drawing inspiration from leading trauma experts such as Peter Levine, Gabor Maté, Stephen Porges, Deb Dana, Janina Fisher, and Bessel van der Kolk, I integrate approaches that extend beyond traditional talk therapy, engaging the body as a vital part of the healing process.

What Matters Most

Regardless of your familiarity with these approaches, what truly matters is that you feel comfortable and supported. My goal is to provide:

  • A safe, non-judgemental, and warm space.
  • Professional expertise, rooted in years of training and experience.
  • Flexibility and creativity tailored to your unique needs.
  • Compassionate, client-focused care.

As a fully qualified member of both the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), I am committed to providing professional, compassionate, and effective support.
