Therapeutic approaches

Integrative counselling is built on the idea that no single therapeutic model works for everyone. Each person brings a different history, a different way of making sense of the world, and different needs from the counselling space. By drawing on several approaches, I can shape the work around you, rather than asking you to fit a predetermined format.

The foundation of my practice is the relationship between us: it’s central to the work, and you’re the expert on your own life. Within that, I draw on other approaches depending on what’s most useful.

I trained in integrative counselling. Within that, I draw on ideas from the approaches below, such as CBT, psychodynamic and solution-focused thinking, when they help. I'm not a CBT therapist.
