Personal Approach
Psychotherapy has developed from an array of therapeutic models.
Research has not found any one of these to work any better than the others.
As an integrative therapist I draw on a wide range of approaches and techniques in my therapy work with clients.
In my experience, the relationship that developed between us, has proven more influential on the outcome than any theoretical intervention.
In my opinion, real therapy is about connection.
I am looking to connect, in order to create a calm and safe therapeutic space.
A colleague once remarked in conversation that “clients may not always remember, what therapists say or do, but they will always remember how they made them feel.
“In my early professional years I was asking the question: How can I treat, or cure, or change this person? Now I would phrase the question in this way: How can I provide a relationship which this person may use for his own personal growth?”
― Carl R. Rogers
Some of the theoretical models that I draw from are listed below.
Person-centered psychotherapy.
Cognitive psychology
Psychodynamic psychotherapy.
Cognitive behavioral therapy.
Existential therapy.
Brief therapy.
Systemic Theory
I also draw upon practicing Mindfulness, meditation, breath work and visualization.
“Let go of your mind and then be mindful.
Close your ears and listen!”
