Rowena is a registered psychologist & clinical counsellor who is driven by a sound belief in the worth of humanity. Her approach to therapy is humanistic & existential, which allows her to take a positive approach that applauds human capacities & aspirations whilst concurrently grappling with limitations & difficulties. At the heart of her work is a very concrete understanding of the importance of a therapeutic relationship built on trust, congruence, empathy & unconditional positive regard.

Rowena employs a range of evidence-based therapies and strategies, particularly Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). She utilises the concepts of CBT to assist clients in understanding how their thoughts, feelings, & behaviours impact their reality & seeks to help clients reclaim freedom regarding their responses. In addition Rowena uses Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy as it emphasises the importance of self-acceptance & allows scope to investigate the origins of emotional disturbance.
