My approach is Integrative which means I can use a variety of therapeutical approaches tailored to your needs. This includes Person-Centred, Psychodynamic, Gestalt, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Transactional Analysis. I can help with anxiety, depression, stress, abuse, relationship problems, work issues, anger, family problems, low self-esteem, loss and more.
