- Thank You
Philosophy & Vision
I draw on two main methodologies which inform my practice. The first is transactional analysis, which provides a positive view of human nature and people's capacity to change. The second is Imago, a unique method of working with couples, devised by Harville Hendrix. The aim of Imago Therapy is to create a safe space where couples can talk about the issues that are bothering them. The counsellor facilitates a dialogue between partners and this process can be practised at home.
Background
I have a background in education and firmly believe in the old adage that the best education is therapeutic and the best therapy is educational.
Services
I offer individual counselling, supervision and couples counselling.
