About me and my therapy practice
Do you want to be able to better manage anxious feelings, or to understand yourself and your relationships more, or maybe there is a specific issue causing you pain or unhappiness? I offer a safe space for you or your child to work through any challenges or difficulties.
My role as therapist is to provide the compassionate, safe space for you to explore the aspects of your life that are preventing you from feeling at your best: those creating stress, tension, unhappiness or loneliness.
As an integrative therapist, I draw on a variety of therapies including person-centred therapy, psychodynamic theory, CBT, NLP and creative approaches. This allows me to work in a way which best fits the needs and goals of my individual clients. The therapeutic relationship is at the heart of my work, supporting you in working towards your goals & lasting change in your life.
Alongside counselling, I have qualifications in, trauma-informed practice, Emotional Freedom Technique and using NLP in therapy. I am also a member of the International Coaching Federation.
My first session
I appreciate that entering therapy, or seeking therapeutic work for your child may seem a little daunting and you may be unsure of how to find the right therapist. Because of this, I always suggest a free initial call as a trial to explore whether you feels it's a good fit for us to work together.
Following this, I will invite you to an assessment session where I explore with clients what's going on for them, how it is affecting their life and what goals they have for seeking therapy. This session is as much the client's assessment as to whether they feel comfortable working with me, as for me to get a sense of what support may be beneficial for them.
When working online/via telephone, an important factor to consider is ensuring that you (or your child if they are the client) have access to a completely private space where there isn't fear of the session being overheard.
If I'm working with a young person, my usual process differs slightly as I invite the parent(s)/carer(s) to come alongside their child for the intial part of the assessment session. This allows me to get their sense of what is going on as well of that of the young person themselves. We also explore the role of confidentiality for the young person and any exceptions to this within the process.
