About me and my therapy practice
Welcome and thank you for visiting my profile.
You may be feeling lost or lacking purpose, you may have experienced a life event you would like support with, or you might just feel that something doesnt feel quite right. Whatever the reason for you looking for therapy, I can help.
I work in a holistic and integrative way, this means that I work with all aspects of the person, mind, body and soul. I believe that when these are all aligned, we are at our best.
I utilise many different tools in my practice such as looking at how the past impacts the here and now, coping tools to use to manage symptoms and more creative ways of working. This depends on the needs of the clients and also means that each experience is unique to them. I use several models, such as, but not limited to, CBT, gestalt, humanistic, person centred and solution focused therapy.
My aim, is to provide you with a individually tailored therapy experience to achieve your therapy goals, to be non judgmental, understanding and to be there with you in the journey so you are not alone.
Practice description
My private practice is based in a relaxing room based in loughborough Town centre, there is parking nearby and toilets in the building but unfortunately no wheelchair access as access is via a staircase.
When you initially contact me, you are able to book in for initial 20minute phone call free of charge. This is to allow you to ask any questions or concerns and also to allow you to get a feel for if I am the right therapist for you.
If you want to go ahead, I can offer a session via zoom, phone call or face to face, whichever suits you. Once this is booked, I will send the contract agreement via email for you to look over and I also ask for a £20 deposit to secure the session at this point.
In the first session, we will cover contracting, what you should expect from me and how sessions are structured. This first session is about building a rapport and most importantly, helping you feel safe and secure with me.
