Therapeutic Approach

​The most essential ingredient in all types of psychological therapy, as found by the scientific evidence, is the therapeutic relationship. This means, a good working alliance between therapist and client is important for a successful outcome.

Maree keeps in mind the Neuroscience of Psychotherapy. The general therapeutic leaning here is on Mindfulness, Body-Mind Connection, Emotions, Limbic Resonance and the Therapeutic Relationship.

"Within a Psychodynamic framework, I keep in mind the importance of attachment and development. I also utilise a trauma-informed approach and psychological methods which assist with the embodiment of the whole self (e.g. Mindfulness, Emotional Focusing, Hakomi and Hypnotherapy). This type of therapy is generally mid to long term depending on the needs of the individual.

My main areas of work include emotional difficulties, intimacy issues, developmental/complex trauma (e.g. emotional neglect, sexual abuse), addictions, highly sensitive people and those wanting to connect to themselves and others in a more real and full way.”

We change, develop and grow through our relational experiences
