Counselling
Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy can help you with such difficulties as: life or career changes, relationship problems, stress, depression, low self-confidence, identity confusion, feelings of powerlessness, and anger. People who undergo therapy may report improvements in the quality of their relationships, increased confidence and a growing ability to take risks and make changes in their lives.

Counselling. There are probably more similarities between counselling and therapy than there are differences. However, counselling tends to focus more on specific and current life issues and is quite often short-term. Psychotherapy is a more open-ended exploration of deep-rooted or recurring problems.

Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling aims to bring different therapeutic models, methods and philosophies together in a principled way. My approach integrates aspects of psychoanalytic psychotherapy with elements of Humanistic Psychology. I also incorporate in my practice some techniques of Time-Limited Dynamic Psychotherapy, which research has shown to be effective across a range of presenting difficulties.
