Methods I use
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) Imago Relationship Therapy Play-Based Approaches Transactional Analysis Trauma-Informed Practice
I begin by exploring what matters most to the client and what they would like to change. Together, we agree on goals and choose practical steps that feel manageable. I help clients notice connections between their thoughts, feelings and actions, explore the stories they hold about themselves, and recognise strengths and exceptions to difficulties. I draw on selected cognitive behavioural and emotion-regulation techniques, alongside narrative and solution-focused questions, adapting these to the client’s needs, preferences and readiness. Clients help decide what to focus on and which exercises to try between sessions. We regularly reflect on what is useful, recognise small changes and adjust our plan to support progress towards their goals.
