PERSON CENTERED APPROACH
Support That Makes a Difference
I believe in harnessing each person's unique strengths and abilities. I am person centered, asking questions, guiding and motivating individuals into developing clear plans about what they want from life.
For many of the individuals I work with this involves developing the skills needed to operate effectively in society: at university, in work, in the community, with others. I teach skills to develop social awareness, reciprocal conversation, relationships building, social safety, network building, independence and the ability to ask for help. Each step is important in developing the capacity to feel good and empowered to fulfil your potential. Each step creates confidence.
​
I will be in contact with you between sessions, encouraging you to practise the skills you have learnt and to take small but definite steps forward towards your goals, celebrating successes on the way.

I specialise in working with young adults with additional needs especially communication difficulties and autism.
