Counselling Psychology and Psychotherapy for individuals and couples
SERVICES
I have over 20 years experience as psychotherapist and counselling psychologist. My main areas of interest and expertise include post-traumatic stress disorder, general anxiety, phobias, childhood and domestic abuse, relationship difficulties, life transitions, gender and sexual indentity issues.
I can work long-term, in-depth, within a relational approach. This means that what happens between me and the client is becoming a major focus of the work, because most relationship issues are also being enacted in the therapeutic couple.
I also offer short-term, solution-focussed work which concentrates on the symptoms a client presents with.
My main theoretical background is Transactional Analysis which combines cognitive-behavioural elements with a psychdynamic theory of personality. I have also trained in CBT and can apply its techniques.
A major element of my training post-qualification consisted of energy therapy approaches which use meridians and other elements of the energy system to enable symptom relief and bring about change. This is especially useful in short term work with anxiety, phobias and recently acquired post-traumatic stress response. It includes teaching a client the techniques for use at home which empowers them to take control of their symptoms themselves.
I can also work in German and Dutch and offer clinical supervision to other practitioners.
