My practice has undergone the initial vaccination process, but, until this is complete (currently estimated to be in mid-April), I am following the present national lockdown guidelines for England. The entire practice area is constantly kept CoVid-secure and I am permanently giving careful consideration to effectively working remotely via telephone, taking into consideration each individual client's specific circumstances. Relational Psychotherapy is based on the idea that who we are and how we relate to others is formed early on. When we come to understand what we believe to be true about ourselves, we realise as well, that these beliefs come from the messages/responses others gave us at a very young age. Questioning these beliefs makes changes possible. The process of bridging the old ways with the new. Hence, the emphasis on the word - relational

My approach to therapy is one of deep belief in the clients ability to heal, resolve issues and move forward towards a positive ending. My clients consider these facets of my relational psychotherapy to be important and effective resources for the support they are seeking and have fed back to me high levels of satisfaction with this branch of my practice. Naturally, online psychotherapy is not appropriate for everyone, but it has shown effectiveness in a number of important situations. For example, issues involving recovery from various addictions have benefited from online therapy, especially in cases where the client might wish to overcome any attitude to regularly attending traditional face-to-face and one-on-one supportive psychotherapy sessions. Obviously, the convenience element is a major factor for clients and I have endeavoured to put into place as robust an I.T. structure as appropriate for the privacy and security of all clients.
