Personal Statement

I provide a warm safe space without judgement so that clients can share their difficulties. Together we gain a shared understanding of the problems and develope and individual therapy plan. All clients present with unique parts of their personality such as thoughts, images, emotions, sensations and behaviours as a way of surviving. I can help you understand this so these parts do not impact on your life.
