Approach
I work with the issues and the intentions that you bring.
We will discuss your needs in the first session, and that can be an ongoing discussion.
The style is conversational and relational.
I do not employ hypnosis or physical touch.
The underlying approach is modern psychoanalysis.
Some of the tenets of this practice are relationship, attunement, presence, healing, insight
Modern psychoanalysis is informed by Neuroscience and Cognitive psychology (CBT, DBT). It is also compatible with Spirituality.
I follow theCode of rights
and the Code of Ethics of the New Zealand Association of Psychotherapists
