Person-Centred therapist

As well as an integrative approach, I describe myself as a "person-centred therapist" and endeavour to understand, as best I can, each individual woman who walks in my door. In the process of understanding her unique background, ways of coping in her world and how she came to be where she is today, I assist her to understand herself more fully and deeply. Once I begin to understand her unique worldview and sense of herself, I work with her to develop an individualised approach to best assist her and encourage feedback within the therapeutic relationship. Most of the women I work with are 'stuck' somehow and somewhere in a time and place they don't fully understand and would rather not be. Through her interactions with me, in a safe, non-judgemental and caring environment, I assist her to put the pieces of the puzzle back together and move forward and re-engage in life. My objective is for the women I work with to feel more content and more able and capable to live life in a way that feels right for them. This can also mean resolving issues with those near and dear to them to develop more meaningful and enriching relationships.
