Type of counselling provided
There are many types of counselling available, I am an integrative counsellor meaning that I work using multiple methodologies, all which compliment each other and can be interchanged depending on what a client is working on at a specific moment in time. All my practice is based on Humanistic counselling and I integrate Person-Centred, Psychodynamic, Gestalt, Existential and Transactional therapies. As well as these I also utilise Polyvagal, Somatic and Internal Family Systems work to support my trauma and anxiety specialities but these can also be used with generalised counselling provision.
Experience
I have been in practice for 9 years, and for the last 7 years I have worked in private practice full time.
