Richard M Cross (UKCP registered psychotherapist, MCS accreditied) wanted to develop Lifespan psychotherapy to provide for the needs of individuals at every stage of their life and has worked with children, young people and adults in a variety of settings and countries.
Despite his training in various techniques such as EMDR which are useful in the treatment of trauma he believes that:
"Every human being is a unique individual person. Psychotherapeutic success depends ultimately not on theory, and not on a stereotyped technique, but on the individual therapist's ability to understand intuitively and accurately this particular patient." Harry Guntrip
