How I can work with you
‘As long as you live, keep learning how to live’
Seneca
My approach is flexible and integrative; TELOS therapy aims to treat mind, body and spirit holistically. I am concerned with how we relate – to ourselves, and to others, and I work with a collaborative focus. I creatively combine approaches from various psychotherapeutic disciplines, particularly psychodynamic and systemic. My training, combined with my own life experience, enables me to work with clients confidently and with empathy, and warmth. Clients have told me that they find me easy to talk to, friendly and attentive.
‘Happiness is a how, not a what; a talent, not an object.’
Hermann Hesse
My primary aim is to support individuals, couples and families as they negotiate their own recovery journeys, to create a future different from their past. The products of my approach, and the process we co-create will be different for each person but may lead to the discovery of a new identity. This can replace old ideas of self image, which you may have stumbled across, or adopted through necessity or convenience which are no longer comfortable. A second equally fundamental outcome of the work may be the opportunity to re-evaluate your goals: clients often report a shift from desiring simply to exist, to wishing to live, and feel alive and worthwhile.
