Meet The Team

As I mentioned I use lots of different therapies to help people and particularly like animal assisted therapy, this is where an animal joins us and is part of the therapeutic process, just stroking an animal can help us to feel better and many people also find that it’s easier to talk whilst cuddling a dog or a cat. I also like to use an Internal Family Systems approach, which isn’t about your family but rather about your own internal system and how we can experience different conflicting feelings. An example might be how we can be scared/nervous about something as well as happy/excited at the same time and how these “opposite” feelings can cause our internal world to become a bit confused and upset, our job together would be to explore these feelings and iron out any confusion. 

Of course, there are many different types of therapy to help people, but for me the most important thing is building a good therapeutic relationship, we need to be able to get on and trust each other so that we can work together and resolve any issues that might be causing problems. 

Fun fact: I love animals and have 2 dogs of my own, M&M (Max and Maddie, both rescue dogs) who are my way of relaxing when I come home from a busy day, and I like nothing more than to take them on long walks. They are very pampered and attend daycare when I am at work, where they play all day with their doggy friends, they can even have a dip in the swimming pool or have a night in the doggy hotel! 

Thank you for taking the time to get to know a little bit about me and I hope the lovely team at IntraQuest can be part of your journey.
