As an integrative psychotherapist, Barbara draws from a range of theoretical perspectives which allows her to tailor therapy to the needs of each client.
Barbara brings a warm, non-judgmental, and accepting attitude to her work with clients. She thinks that healing and individual growth happens when difficulties in living are explored with empathy, and the client’s unique experience is considered with curiosity.
The therapeutic relationship is at the centre of Barbara’s practice, and she emphasises meaningful connection in her work. Barbara uses a relational lens to help clients make sense of how they relate to themselves, others, and the world. She also supports clients to understand how past experiences can impact current relationships. In therapy, Barbara works collaboratively with clients to consider experiences from a new perspective and reveal new possibilities of being.
Barbara’s experience of living and working in different parts of the world gives her a deeper understanding of difference and allows her to connect with her clients’ challenges in meaningful ways. Barbara draws from a wealth of professional experience working with a range of clients in various therapeutic settings, including the voluntary sector, private practice and the NHS. She offers long and short-term therapy and welcomes clients with a range of problems, including anxiety, depression, abuse, relationship issues, loss, self-esteem, family problems, trauma, and life changes.
