‘Creative Integration’, although not a new approach, is the way I describe what i can offer to you. Creative Integration aims to ‘integrate’ a number of different therapeutic approaches with the aim of  finding a way of helping with whatever is troubling you. 

I integrate psychotherapy approaches from Counselling, Cognitive Analytical Therapy (CAT),  Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) theories as well as the use of creative methods such as art making, creative writing and use of miniatures. I can also integrate ways of approaching difficulty from Coaching theory approaches too if appropriate. 

I offer a safe, confidential space to allow you to find ways to manage patterns that may originate from your past, but are 'showing up' in your present. The origins of these difficulties may not be obvious to ourselves, or those around us, and can manifest as symptoms including anxiety, depression, or compulsive and self-harming relationships with ourselves or others.

I hope that we can enable a  warm, compassionate, and collaborative therapeutic relationship as the bedrock for working together. I am curious about what makes you unique and keen to help you to be the expert on your  life and experiences.
