Rhiannon has a focus on developing a strong therapeutic and human relationship to work collaboratively in treatment providing psychological care. She is a compassionate, warm, and energetic psychologist who fosters a gentle and safe supportive space for clients. Throughout her professional practice she nurtures the therapeutic space, which allows for self-growth, self-awareness, compassion, and empowerment in the clients that she sees. She has a belief that this creates a more meaningful and positive therapeutic experience achieving healthier treatment outcomes. Rhiannon works from an integrative therapeutic framework, where she draws from a mix of evidenced-based therapies and modalities. She uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy – Enhanced (CBT-E), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Schema Therapy, Mindfulness Skills, and Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT). Her approach and belief in therapy is that there is not a ‘one size fits all’ when it comes to connecting and working with human beings. She feels that it’s important to see a person as a whole and to tailor care to individual needs. She is open to seeing any individual who feels that it would be the best fit for the therapeutic alliance, which she prioritises.
