Tim works with you to develop a shared understanding of your concerns, before discussing suitable treatment options. We then develop a tailored plan for how we can work together to reach your hoped for outcomes. Tim’s approach incorporates a range of therapies including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Solution-focussed Therapy, Internal Family Systems Therapy and EMDR, depending on the presenting issue and your needs as a client. Safety, confidentiality and respect for the preferences, values, and dignity of each client is at the heart of Tim’s therapeutic process.
