About me and my therapy practice

I am an integrative therapist which means I tailor my approach to you and what your needs and preferences are, drawing from many different techniques. We go totally at your pace getting to know and trust one another in a totally safe and non-judgemental space. We are complex beings so what’s right for one person may not be right for you. In our first session, we talk about what’s brought you to therapy and what you want to get out of it – but often these needs may change as we work together, we discuss this and adapt accordingly.

You may have experienced a recent loss – perhaps a bereavement or major life change like a job loss. It could be that you’ve always felt unhappy but not really understood why. Perhaps you find relationships with others challenging and want to explore this with someone independently. You may wish to understand what past experiences may be influencing your feelings in the present. I offer a number of coping strategies to manage your fears and anxiety through tapping, meditation and breathing work, as well as understanding what your triggers are. Ultimately my focus is to work with you to develop a mutual level of trust, providing a safe and facilitative space for exploration and growth.

Practice description

My practice is totally collaborative. I'm a facilitator to guide you, not advise you. Crucial to successful therapy is our relationship and from the get go, you can expect a totally safe and non-judgemental place to bring whatever you want – I have no fixed agenda, I will follow your lead. I will ask what you want to get out of your therapy, with a view to setting an ultimate goal but as you continue to explore on a deeper level, these goals can change, so nothing is fixed or set in stone, we will check in regularly to review how you think things are going and if you want to focus on something else.

I may reflect what I'm noticing play out in our relationship as we work together and this may be useful to facilitate greater understanding for how you may relate to people outside our sessions. But all this is done very gently at your own pace. You reveal what you want when you want.

Essentially therapy works on the premise that by exploring our past – the environment, relationships feelings, etc, it can help shed a light on how we relate in the present – to ourselves, to others, our view of the world. The first step towards healing is to make the unconscious conscious. It isn’t an easy process and it can take time so patience is needed but I can wholly testify from personal experience, it is definitely worth the effort – you are definitely worth the effort.

My first session

I will use our first session to gauge if I'm the best person to help you. This will involve a series of questions on your background and current presenting problems and to try to identify your goals for therapy. We will explore why you're considering therapy now and, if you've had therapy before what you found helpful and what you found less helpful. During this session, I will need to take notes so I can ensure I'm recording all the pertinent information for forthcoming sessions. We're basically painting a brief overview of where you are now and past problems that perhaps are influencing your present, information on your family and extended support network.

We will explore your preferences for therapy - it's an opportunity for you to gauge whether you feel comfortable with me and if I'm someone you feel you can trust and feel safe with.
