Luisa Giordano

I am a relational integrative therapist. This means that you and I work in partnership to navigate a way to support you to face whichever challenges you would like to overcome. Sometimes this can be achieved through short-term work (up to 12 weeks) and sometimes a contract for much longer work will be what you need.

The development of relationship between me (the therapist), and you (the client) is the driving force of how I work. Through the development of a trusted alliance we can begin to explore any vulnerabilities you bring safely in order to make sense of them together.

I have had specialist trauma training and I am experienced with working with survivors of trauma and clients living with the effects of PTSD. I am a volunteer therapist at a local charity offering therapy for survivors of sexual trauma and domestic violence. 

I work either face to face from a private studio located in a quiet part of Poole,  or online via Zoom. If you would prefer I can also offer telephone appointments.

Sessions last for 50 minutes and are at the same time/day each week.

Our first contact will be a short telephone conversation after which we will book a first session if you would like to begin therapy. This phone call will be free of charge.

The first contacts may feel a little anxiety provoking, and it is  perfectly normal to experience a little worry about it. I will do my very best to put you at ease so we can get to know each other and for us both to see if we are a 'good fit'. During this session we will look briefly at your personal history and discuss any goals you would like to work towards, or any challenges you would like to overcome. During the first session there will be essential administration  to complete and I will explain how the privacy and safeguarding systems work.

The first session will be charged at the normal rate.

Any sessions which are not cancelled 24 hours in advance will be charged at full rate.

Fees can be paid in cash, by cheque or via bank transfer.
