Simona Hawkins, MSc.
I discovered the fascinating intricacy of psychological therapy 25 years ago when my psychotherapist supported me to deal with a life crisis, and to undergo an identity and life changing process. It was an experience which made me realise how little I knew about what would really make me feel happy and fulfilled. Through psychotherapy I understood myself, my needs, wants and my choices.
I describe myself as a developmental-relational integrative psychotherapist and I believe in people’s uniqueness reflected by their personality, life experiences and beliefs. I see each person as a whole including body, feelings, mind and spirit. My therapeutic aim is to use a full range of approaches to encourage the person to develop their sense of self and their relationship to others, and support them to make fulfilling choices in their lives
