Rosa Banham
Integrative therapist

I work integratively. That means I draw on a range of approaches to make sense of your experience and to support you towards meaningful change.

I am particularly interested in attachment-based and psychodynamic thinking. In other words, I am curious about how our past shapes our present. Many of us learnt particular ways of being in the world when we were young, which no longer serve us in our adult lives. In therapy, I might invite you to consider the influence of your past experiences on your present feelings and behaviours.

My work as a therapist is also relational. I believe that change is made possible, in part, through the creation of a trusting and open therapeutic relationship. Just as we evolve in our early relationships, we can change and grow with the help of current ones. So I do my best to create a warm and supportive space where you can feel heard and known in all aspects of yourself.

In sessions, I will encourage you to bring your thoughts, feelings and bodily sensations into awareness. I will invite you to explore those parts of you that might feel distressed, afraid, angry, or confused. Together, we’ll work to better understand and process what's troubling you. In this way, we will pave the way for gradual changes in how you are able to relate both to yourself and others.

I am committed to non-discriminatory practice and welcome clients of all identities, cultures, faiths, genders, sexualities, as well as those with health conditions and disabilities. My approach seeks to recognise and address power dynamics that are shaped by the wider society we live in.

I am a registered member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and my work is guided by their ethical framework. I hold a Diploma in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy from the Minster Centre, one of the UK’s leading integrative training institutes.
