About me and my therapy practice
Our brains are complex and we receive very little instruction on how to use them. Therapy offers you the chance to slow down, to reflect on thoughts and feelings. By doing so, this can help you understand how to deal with situations or offer a new perspective.I am a Senior Accredited Psychotherapist with a Masters degree and 20 years experience. I have worked in prisons, an immigration centre, a Barnardo's residential school and for charities.
I'm not here to give you the answers. I won't tell you what you should or shouldn't do. What works for one person, does not necessarily work for the next. I will be attentive and inquisitive in order to help you find the best way forward.
Sessions are 50 minutes long. I like to suggest strategies for you to take away and put into practice.
Practice description
I offer flexible therapy. I can work around your busy life to give you the support you need at a time that works for you.
I work face to face, online and by phone.
I work internationally.
My first session
Getting started may feel scary so we arrange an introductory meeting to give you the opportunity to feel comfortable with me. Research has shown, the single most powerful factor in effective counselling is the strength of the relationship between client and counsellor, regardless of approach.
Our first session will be an opportunity for you to talk more about your self, your background, what is going on in your life and your reasons for seeking therapy. We will also talk about what you would like to gain from our work together and how we will work towards your goals for therapy. I will suggest a number of sessions so you know when the end is right from the beginning.
