Liverpool Therapy Rooms

Person-Centered Therapy

In Person-Centered therapy, the therapy room is a collaborative space where you, as the client, bring your wealth of knowledge about your thoughts, emotions, and life experiences. However, it is common to feel overwhelmed or find it challenging to navigate these aspects alone. That's where I step in.

My commitment is to guide you through exploring and resolving the issues you may be facing. In our sessions, I provide support as you delve into potentially painful, secret, or shameful areas. My approach is one of openness, kindness, and respect towards your journey.

The ultimate goal of therapy varies for each individual. It may involve gaining clarity about your emotions, developing strategies to manage overwhelming feelings, or uncovering hidden strengths. Together, we can work towards your personal goals, considering your unique needs and desires. Your growth and well-being are central to our collaboration. I aim for you to feel empowered and valued as an active participant in your healing. You're encouraged to express your thoughts, voice concerns, and share experiences openly. Our sessions offer a safe, non-judgmental space for exploration and growth.

​Creative Approaches in Psychotherapy
In traditional talk therapy, we often engage the logical parts of our brains. However, this may limit our access to deeper emotional realms. Creative Approaches in Psychotherapy bridge this gap by tapping into the emotional regions of our brains. Through creative techniques, we can explore our inner worlds more deeply. You don't need to be artistically inclined for this process to be effective. It's not about judging the quality of your creations; it's about using creative methods to unlock emotions and experiences.

In our sessions, we'll explore your mind and body, providing a safe space for expression through drawing, mindfulness, movement, music, or other outlets. Engaging in this creative journey can lead to fresh perspectives, deeper self-understanding, and
new ways to approach life's challenges. It's about empowering you to see yourself differently and symbolize your inner world in ways that resonate with your unique journey.

Child-Centered Creative Therapy 
As a psychotherapist specializing in Child-Centered creative therapy, I've worked extensively with children in school settings, addressing a range of issues including anxiety, low mood, school avoidance, ADHD, autism, domestic violence, bereavement, and emotional dysregulation.

Through this work, I've witnessed children gaining confidence in expressing their emotions both verbally and through play. Feedback from parents and teachers indicates improved relationships with children, enhanced emotional understanding and regulation, and integration into school environments.

Child-Centered therapy, grounded in the belief that children understand their needs innately, fosters self-autonomy and confidence in facing challenges. Through open yet structured exploration, children develop self-regulation and a growth mindset, which are crucial for their development.

The therapeutic use of play, combined with creative approaches, is central to this method, as it facilitates skill development and emotional expression. My role involves providing guidance, reflecting emotions, and establishing safe boundaries for children to freely process their feelings in a non-judgmental space.
This approach is particularly beneficial for children who may struggle to articulate or comprehend their emotions due to cognitive development stages, offering engaging therapy tailored to their needs.
