My Therapeutic Approaches
Clinical Psychologists are trained in a wide range of therapeutic models, which means that I can tailor our work to suit your individual goals for therapy. I have further post qualification training in all of the approaches I use.

Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT)
CFT is a particularly helpful approach for clients who experience high levels of shame and self-criticism, helping to reduce self-blame and cultivate a more positive relationship with yourself.
-

IFS (Internal Family Systems)
A type of therapy which helps people explore their different “parts” in order to heal internal conflict and process trauma. IFS can help you meet these internal voices with compassion, not shame.
-

EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is best known for treating PTSD but can also be used to alleviate other forms of distress. It can be particularly helpful for processing birth trauma.

Systemic Therapy
Whether working with an individual or couple, systemic therapy sees people as deeply interconnected and focuses on their relationship with others and wider networks, rather than looking at individuals in isolation.
