Additional Information
|
| I use an eclectic approach with an emphasis on understanding individuals through their thinking patterns and processes (cognitive) and the context in which problem behaviour occurs. In order to allow individuals to cope, develop and change I try to assist people to identify and experience the thoughts, feelings, beliefs and behaviours that they may be struggling with and work with them to identify and focus on the values and goals that are important to them.
I draw upon a number of established therapies including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Psycho-Dynamics Therapies.
