Individual Therapy

Short or long term therapeutic work

I work mainly within what is known as an  ‘integrative’ style, drawing from time-limited and longer term ‘processing therapy’ models.

Common approaches I am able to provide:
CBT
Interpersonal Psychotherapy
Intensive Short Term Dynamic Psychotherapy
EMDR
Skills from DBT
Mindfulness

Couples/Family Work

Unpacking common patterns to create new alternatives.

We all have have our ‘common dances’ in any type of relationship.  In this type of work, we would establish the goal of the therapy and attempt to become clear on where things go well, and keep that going, and test out where things go wrong.

Sometimes a break is required to test out new ways of interacting, so that together we can establish a new way of relating.

Passion Is What Drives Us

We’re not just determined about doing great work.
We also love doing it.
