I am eclectic in the sense that I have trained in many different areas and models of Psychotherapy and use all that knowledge every time I work, no matter the age of the client. My early professors in Education and in Psychology all emphasized, as indeed I do, the impact of the first 5-7 years 'the magic years' in the development of each of us. So both the developmental psychology I have studied over the years and the jobs I have undertaken, with primary and secondary aged children, have been invaluable in my understanding of adults. I have studied Developmental Psychology, Body-mind Psychotherapy, Ericksonian Hypnotherapy, Family Systems, Family Mediation, Jungian, Adlerian, Play therapy, Meditation, Energy work and Shamanic Journeying to name some. All of them have their place in the whole human experience.

When I work I like to learn each persons 'language' that is made up of the ways in which they learn and process infomation (learning modalities). That way I am understanding the person and responding in ways which are most suited to them, whilst presenting infomation which is not overwhelming or intrusive, but is useful.

I work differently according to the situation. A parent may be having difficulty with a child. This could involve play therapy for the child, or infomation on parenting, or working with a family relationship which is troubling that child. Couples can sometimes work on something in individual sessions which will improve their relationship. Perhaps one has experienced a traumatic event which is causing depression or mood swings; resolving these symptoms will transform the relationship. I work flexibly according to the demands of the situation. All work with any individual is confidential.
