PLURALISTIC APPROACH
There is nearly always more than one pathway to achieving a desired outcome. People with what can seem like similar issues or problems respond better to differing approaches. I do not believe in Schoolism but like to listen to my clients then offer them choices over how they would like to work. Choice and collaboration empowers clients who feel they lack control. Some clients prefer structure and some prefer to talk freely - taking the sessions where ever they want and feel the need to go. Other clients feel they work better with a mixture of approaches.
Tailormade support specific to your unique experiencing
My services at a glance
I can help you identify where change is needed in your life and help you design, manage and implement that change. I can offer you the motivation to pull away from old habits, mal-adaptive coping mechanisms and addictions. You may only be partly aware that something in your life is preventing you from living freely or fully aware that you have a problem with a certain substance, process or coping style. I will help you navigate a way around it, through it or over it – whichever means or path or modality suits you.
Whether you consider yourself to be in recovery, addiction or pre-addiction I can help you.
