I work from home, therefore I have flexibility.

My preferred hours are 10 till 5,  Monday to Friday but will sometimes do evenings with a client who is working in the day.

I have space for 1 or 2 clients this autumn. Maybe more spaces in the spring.

I will be on holiday from 6th to 13th September 2024

I welcome clients into my home, the room is pleasant and there is a lovely view out of the window.

I help the client to tell their story, beginning with what has brought them to therapy at this time. 

We work together as I help the client to understand themselves better and their situation. My clients tell me that I am perceptive  and have helpful insights. Often these insights help clients to address issues and to make changes in their behaviour when appropriate. Sometimes these are changes in how they relate to people, and to become more resilient in life in order to face tough situations.

Some clients struggle with issues that began in childhood and I love to help clients work through these.

I listen carefully to clients with empathy and understanding.

The relationship between client and therapist is so important, in order that the client makes progress. Trust grows as we meet regularly and begin to understand one another.

Sessions last for one hour, usually weekly. Some clients only want a small number of sessions whilst others will choose to come for much longer. This is also flexible.

I offer the first session at half of the normal price in order that the client can decide whether or not they wish to continue.

If a client would struggle to pay the full price, we discuss that and come to an agreement.

In that session we would complete a simple assessment ... mainly to explore the reasons that the client is asking for therapy.

The first session is really an introduction to each other and to therapy.
