Theory

 

 

I offer an integrative counselling approach based on systemic, narrative psychodynamic and attachment theories.  (See glossary for explanation of terms.)

 

This integration of theory will allow us to explore your issues in the context of your personal history and development, your current circumstances and relationships, and the belief systems and thought processes underlying your feelings and behaviours, enabling you to identify opportunities for change.
