My Approach To Psychotherapy: Five essential elements

There are five elements that shape my approach to psychotherapy: relationship, education and trainings, embodied experiential psychotherapy, my own psychotherapy and life experience.
Relationship: All therapies assume a good working relationship with the client, but that is often where the similarities end. Not all therapies see the therapeutic relationship itself as having growth potential for the client. The therapeutic relationship is a fertile ground for change, and often the first place that growth appears! Your growth will emerge through the context of our relationship, and we will both feel it directly!
Education and further Training:
My formal education as a psychologist and psychotherapist began with my training as a dance movement therapist. This initial education has been invaluable, as it brings the rich world of the nonverbal and the aesthetic right into our sessions. My training has included the best researched CBT for anxiety, trauma therapies and the current embodied psychotherapies - emotion-focused, somatic experiencing and AEDP, accelerated experiential developmental psychotherapy, as well as motivational interviewing and seminars in EMDR. My work is informed by relational principles of contemporary psychodynamic psychotherapy. We can discuss further trainings when we speak in a consultation.
