Working With Me

The opposite of addiction is not sobriety, but connection

Initial Consultation

The Garden Practice offers a free 15-minute consultation to prospective clients. During this initial session, I aim to understand what brings you to therapy and address any questions you may have. It serves as a touching point to determine if we are a good fit for your needs. If necessary, I can refer you to another professional. Finally, we will set up an appointment, discuss the fee, and take it from there.

Therapeutic Approaches

Integrative Therapy

Integrative therapy, tailored just for you, is at the heart of The Garden Practice. I believe that each individual is unique and deserves a personalised approach to therapy. Drawing upon a range of therapeutic approaches, we will work together to meet your specific goals and unlock your full potential.

By integrating various therapeutic techniques, we can address the complexities of your experiences, emotions, and challenges. This allows us to create a customised treatment plan that suits your individual needs. Whether it's cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness-based techniques, or other evidence-based modalities, we will explore and utilise the approaches that resonate with you.

With integrative therapy, the focus is on empowering you to take an active role in your healing journey. Together, we will uncover the underlying causes of your struggles, develop effective coping strategies, and foster personal growth. This holistic approach enables you to gain a deeper understanding of yourself, enhance self-awareness, and cultivate the tools needed to navigate life's challenges with resilience and confidence.

At The Garden Practice, integrative therapy is all about honouring your unique story and aspirations. Let's work together to discover the path that leads you to a life of fulfilment and the realisation of your true potential.

Art Psychotherapy

Art psychotherapy is a therapeutic approach that focuses on using art and creative expression as a medium for healing and self-exploration. This form of therapy is particularly beneficial for children, young people, and their families. By engaging in art, such as drawing, painting, or mark making, individuals can communicate and process their thoughts, emotions, and experiences in a non-verbal and symbolic manner. This is especially helpful for young clients who may find it challenging to express their feelings verbally. Through the use of a third medium, arts psychotherapists can uncover underlying emotions, gain insights, and facilitate growth and healing. Moreover, arts therapy is commonly used in the treatment of addiction and complex trauma, making it a versatile and effective therapeutic modality.

Group Supervision

Fostering Collective Learning and Therapist Development

In our group supervision sessions at The Garden Practice, you will have the opportunity to engage in a collaborative and supportive learning environment with your fellow therapists. As your group supervisor, I am here to facilitate this collective growth and development.

Group supervision offers a unique space where you can learn from one another's experiences, perspectives, and challenges.

Moreover, group supervision offers a supportive network where you can seek guidance, feedback, and validation from your peers.
