MY APPROACH
I believe that each person is unique and that everyone brings with them their own life experiences and understandings. No one can have the same story, as we all have a different perspective on one same incident. I am interested to hear your individual perspective and your story. My main aim is to work with you in a facilitative and collaborative way. Together we will explore and understand how you feel about life and possibly look at some of the issues that you may be facing or struggling with. Together we can explore feelings, experiences, beliefs and thoughts that may be hindering your personal growth. There is no right way in working and there is also no recipe that can make the struggles go away. But what psychotherapy provides is a space to talk and explore some of these struggles.
“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 Rogers
In my approach as an integrative psychotherapist, I draw on different theories and use a variety of therapeutic modalities to assist me in understanding my clients. I develop a treatment plan based on who is in front of me. There is no “one size fits all”. I do believe that our past affects our present, but it is entirely up to you on where you want to focus or explore. In working with individuals I am curious to know what has really brought you to therapy and why now?
