How can I help?

 

Many studies have shown that it is the quality of the therapeutic relationship, not the type of therapy per se, which is the most influential vehicle for change and growth in therapy. 

 

​

Roberta focuses on developing a therapeutic alliance where you feel safe to: 

 

  • ‘Explore your feelings and concerns and have those feelings & concerns listened to & validated; 

  • Tap into your wisdom & gain greater clarity around what you need so you can move towards the things which matter to you most; 

  • Grow more accepting of and embrace your ‘messy humanness’. 

​

​

Special interests: Adult Developmental Psychology, Post-Traumatic Growth & Brain Plasticity, The Relational Mind & Attachment & Neurodevelopment.
