What does 4u stand for?
As the name suggests 4U-therapy is all about you, and not about me however, this website tells you a bit about 4U-therapy to help you make an informed decision as to whether we could be a good fit. (Research shows that the therapeutic alliance is the most important factor in successful therapy).

What theory forms the foundation of 4u-therapy?
4U-therapy comes from a broadly humanistic theoretical approach. I believe that human beings are capable of change and are not determined by biology or environment although both play a part in who we are. I am not a purist and do not believe that one size or approach suits all clients.
Having said that I believe the core conditions of person-centred therapy (congruency, unconditional positive regard and empathy) are important in laying the foundations for a good therapeutic alliance/relationship.
I also utilise elements of cognitive therapy, transactional analysis, and acceptance and commitment therapy where appropriate. Additionally, I offer mindfulness and grounding techniques when clients are experiencing an emotional crisis
