Therapeutic Approaches

I take an integrated approach in my therapeutic work drawing on multiple modalities, including:

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT);

  • Third-wave approaches, including Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based approaches.

  • Trauma‑informed work (Polyvagal Theory & Attachment, Regulation, and Competency (ARC) framework)

  • Relational therapy - Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy, (ISTDP)

  • Systemic ideas (including Milan systemic therapy and narrative approaches), especially when working with families and children.

This helps ensure person-centred care, tailored to the unique needs of each client.
