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.
