Sometimes it can be helpful to use more creative techniques such as artwork, creative writing and any other approaches that you are comfortable with. I might incorporate visualisation, virtual reality and in-vivo elements also.
I tend to be solution focussed - sometimes it is important to spend time talking about what has happened or is happening, and sometimes it is more helpful to develop tools, be challenged, to process and to move to a better place, always working within your window of tolerance.
You can find me at my therapy room, which is located just off St Julian's Avenue in St. Peter Port, Guernsey - shown on the map.
If you would like to contact me or to arrange an initial meeting, please email me. Contact details are at the top of the page, or click here.

Please note that my phone is kept on 'silent' so please email me and I will get back to you when I can.
