Initial Assessment

First we have an initial assessment. This is an opportunity for you to talk about what you would like to achieve through therapy, to ask questions and ultimately to decide if I am someone you feel comfortable talking to and can trust and be open with.

An Individual Approach

We then decide on the best approach for you as an individual, through either a fixed number of sessions, or on an open-ended basis.

We will typically see each other once a week, usually via video call. Sessions by telephone or video calling are also possible.

Your Sessions

Each session we will talk about what is happening in your life, how you feel and what you want to change. We will explore the thoughts, feelings and behaviours that are causing you difficulty.

You can share whatever you choose, confidentially.

Counselling Techniques

I use what's known as an integrative approach — integrating the affective, behavioural, cognitive, and physiological systems within one person, as well as addressing any social and spiritual aspects. That simply means that I work with each client as a whole person and use a variety of techniques.

Goals and Outcomes

Our shared goal will be to make sure that you spend as little time 'in therapy' as possible, so that you can focus on implementing the changes that will improve your life and starting to enjoy life more as you move forward.

Review and Progress

We regularly review our work together to ensure you are getting what you need from the sessions. This helps us track your progress and adjust our approach if necessary to best support your journey. We will work together until you feel ready to move forward independently.
