Our Approach
Cynthia applies an integrated strategic psychotherapeutic approach, drawing from a wide scientific evidence base of psychological approaches, to meet your needs as a client, including cognitive behavioural; dialectical behavioural; mindfulness-based therapy; narrative therapy; compassion focused therapy; systems and psychodynamic approaches.
Cynthia works systemically to understand your life context, how you perceive and think about your relationships, life, and circumstances, and how these perspectives influence your thoughts, emotions, decisions, behaviours, and relationships.
Understanding that mental health distress and change can be difficult, working together we will maintain a practical approach to supporting you as a client in finding solutions, developing strategies, and gaining new perspectives on problems. Our starting point is always your unique needs as a client while working in a solution-focused way, to assist you in relieving distress and actualising your needs.
As a first step in the process, Cynthia offers a 15 minute initial video consult at no charge to understand your needs and goals. Together, we define and agree the objectives of the therapy and the outcomes you would like to achieve, as well as the number of psychotherapy sessions required to work on your goals.
Consultations are available in-person (depending on your location) or online using data secure and confidential video platforms.
Cynthia is registered as a service provider with all the major UK and SA health insurance providers.
