I believe in the importance of the therapeutic relationship and its role in effective therapy. As a therapist, I use an empathic, non-judgmental, and warm therapeutic approach to create a safe environment for people to reflect on the difficulties that have brought them to therapy.
Ultimately, I support individuals in bringing meaningful change into their lives and increasing their life satisfaction. I value CPG's ethos of understanding and respecting people and their needs in a way that is supportive, considerate, and compassionate.
