As a UKCP accredited Psychotherapist my practice is grounded in my commitment to create a safe, nonjudgemental environment where you can freely explore behaviours, thoughts & feelings at your own pace
Book a sessionMy background in the creative and financial industries gives me an in-depth understanding of the specific challenges faced by individuals working in those fields. However, my approach is tailor-made for each client as I tune into their unique lived experience. My wealth of life experience, my strong desire to empower others, and my ability to empathise and think creatively, whilst collaborating effectively, and maintaining self-awareness allows me to attune to your needs with a non-judgemental attitude. As an integrative psychotherapist, I combine various schools of psychotherapy to address your specific needs, goals, and help you identify your core emotional difficulty. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is a key element of the process, and I invite you to consider new perspectives and potentially new ways of being by creating space for inner experience. This enables you to trust in your own inner guidance, promoting self-awareness and self-acceptance – these are essential elements for growth and any transformative healing process I frequently employ Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Therapy (AEDT) in my work. This approach distils the most effective elements of psychodynamic therapy into a more targeted strategy to promote transformation, it emphasises our conscious and unconscious interactions with ourselves and others with an emphasis on the experiential – because just talking about things is not enough: there must be deeper embodiment of change that comes through feeling differently. This is a relatively directive approach, which means the therapist is actively engaged and collaborates in the process. My approach though is integrative, and I often employ other modalities such as IFS, ACT & Gestalt chair work. I also collaborate with clients who are neurodiverse and offer support to individuals facing challenges such as workplace struggles, relationship difficulties and the grief associated with late diagnosis. https://sommerspsychotherapy.com/
