About me and my therapy practice
Hello. My interest is in helping people find ways of making sense of their lives, and to help them find their own solutions to life problems. I specialise working with young people, but also have plenty of experience working with adults. I look forward to hearing from you.
Practice description
I work in an integrative way, meaning I adapt my approach to how you respond, trying to deliver the most effective therapy tailored to your needs. I am also a supervisor and trainer ( helping other people become counsellors ).
My first session
During our first session we will have the opportunity for you to present what you hope to get out of counselling and to check whether I feel able to meet your expectations. It is a chance for us to get to know one another and get a feel for whether we can work together. the first session usually involves an assessment - lots of questions about you. If you are a parent bringing a young person, then the first 10 - 15 minutes will include you, to contract and hear what you would like us to know, then it will be with your child. You will then join us at the end of the first session to evaluate future work and contract if necessary.
