About me and my therapy practice
I believe that you are a unique individual and therefore that counselling should be tailored to your individual needs. In order to deliver on that belief, I have trained in techniques from many different types of psychotherapy (this is called a Pluralistic approach). It allows us to build a bespoke way of working on your difficulties.
I am qualified to work with adults of 16+ and warmly welcome you whatever your age, gender, background, religion or spiritual beliefs. If you have an additional need that might affect your ability to get the most from our sessions then I encourage you to get in touch so that we can look at ways to accommodate those and give you the best experience of working together.
Research shows that the most important predictor of a good outcome in counselling is the quality of the relationship between client and counsellor. As a trained psychotherapist with a background in journalism, good communication is at the very heart of what I do and I welcome continuous feedback from my clients on how we can strengthen our therapeutic bond.
I respect your personal preferences and your individuality and will not insist on forcing one type of therapy on you. Instead, we can look, together, across a wide range of approaches so we can work out what works best in your particular situation.
You are a one-off and I am here to help you enjoy being you.
Practice description
In our first session together, you'll have a chance to talk about what brings you to counselling and I can outline the ways in which we might work together.
If you’re thinking about booking then you are welcome to contact me to arrange a free short call/online meeting so we can discuss details including session duration (usually one hour), frequency and price.
If you decide to go ahead, we will meet (in person, online or on the phone) at which point I will take a few essential details from you, make sure you are happy to go ahead with counselling and then we can begin our work.
My first session
I offer a free introductory call or online meeting so that you can ask me any questions that might help you decide whether counselling/psychotherapy is for you.
If you decide you would like to work with me then we can book our first session. During that first session, I will ask you to complete some brief paperwork giving essential details. I will also outline for you the parameters of our work, including what you can expect from me and what I will need from you.
