I work primarily from a Schema Therapy framework. In conjunction with Schema Therapy, I use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness, and Compassion Focused Therapy to help people gain insight into psychological issues that have created a sense of ‘stuckness’ in their lives. Working through this ‘stuckness’ helps people free themselves from old patterns and move towards living a life that is more conscious, meaningful, balanced and fulfilling.
