Treatment Approaches
I take an integrative approach to therapy, incorporating systemic, cognitive-behavioural, solution-focused and narrative ways of working. 
 
Given the depth and range of my training, I am able to bring together an integrated way of working determined by what is most appropriate for the individual or family I am working with, taking into account their therapeutic needs and goals. 
 
I also have an interest in Compassion-Focused Work and Acceptance Commitment Therapy.
