Psychotherapy
What is psychotherapy?
​
I offer person-centred psychotherapy which was first developed by American psychologist and psychotherapist Carl Rogers.
​
It is based on the idea that the client is the expert of their own life. The approach is grounded in the belief that given the right conditions, a person will develop, change, and ultimately self-actualise.
​
It is my job as your therapist to provide those conditions from which you can grow.
​
I like to call this Liminal Space: "liminal" comes from the Latin word “limen,” which means threshold. Encapsulated in this ‘liminal space’ is uncertainty, confusion, and chaos. But there is also the seed of growth, clarity, and order.
​
This seed is what we will aim to cultivate.
