Talk Therapy: In my role as your therapist, I will support you to go deeper, to get beneath the usual way of talking about your problem. I will support you to explore what is really going on for you, helping you gain more understanding and insight into your emotions, thoughts and behaviour.

Somatic and Creative Expressive Approaches:
There are a number of illuminating and exploratory 'beyond words' approaches that I might introduce you to. These body-oriented and creative methods are useful when you can't find the right words, when you feel 'stuck', or if you're skilled at using words to mask, hide or minimise your problem. Your body, and your creative process, can offer enormous wisdom, supporting you to process things through a new lens, offering the possibility for deep insight, new perspectives and inspired next steps (zero creative talent required!).
Therapeutic Tasks:
I may invite you to experiment with any number, or combination of, therapeutic tasks: emotional freedom techniques, therapeutic journaling, drawing or doodling, symbolic 'play', writing a letter/s, mindfulness, reading a self-help passage, practicing meditation or commiting to taking a walk; the list is endless! There are so many interesting and illuminating resources and therapeutic exercises that you might find useful and many people enjoy.
Therapeutic Coaching:
After working together for some time, when we have got a lot of what was 'in the way' of your moving forward 'out of the way', I will support you to claim your brilliance, working together in a solution focused and coaching capacity to help you refine and set goals, plan next steps and move even further towards the life you really want for yourself.
