My overall aim whilst in the role of therapeutic practitioner is to offer a therapeutic relationship which provides an opportunity to work towards living in a way which, 'you-the-client' experience as more valued, satisfying and resourceful.
The objectives of our therapeutic relationship will vary according to your needs. We may be concerned with developmental issues, addressing or resolving specific such as anxiety related difficulties, phobias or depression, making decisions, coping with crisis, developing personal insight and knowledge, working through feelings of inner-conflict or improving relationships with others.
My role will be to facilitate your work in ways which respect your values, personal resources and capacity for choice within your cultural context.
