About me and my therapy practice
There are moments in life where we are unable to find a way forward, we can lose sight of who we are, our needs and what's important to us. At times our experiences can be emotionally and mentally overwhelming, trying to find resolution can feel impossible.
I believe counselling can be a place to explore and understand how you engage and interact with the world around you. Counselling can be a place to explore experiences, relationships, values, emotions, fears and loss.
Counselling for me is about giving yourself the time an space to find a way forward, whether its through developing self-belief, resolution, action or acceptances. Ultimately, I believe the process can be empowering and create better awareness of self, purpose and needs.
How We Will Work Together
Counselling can feel daunting, the concept of confiding in someone that you don't already know can feel strange and at odds. I provide a safe supportive space where hopefully you will feel at ease and able to speak openly.
I will listen carefully to you. I work with immediacy and I will draw on your words, emotions and body language. You can learn a lot about yourself when you give yourself the space and time to reflect.
I will support you as we explore the issues that have been difficult for you to deal with. Your experiences, values and beliefs are unique, together we will find a way forward this is right for you. I believe there is never one approach that fits all and I will tailor the counselling to your needs.
Practice description
I offer a free 20-30 minute initial consultation, where we will talk about what has brought you to counselling. The consultation will also give you the opportunity to see if the counselling service that I provide feels right for you.
Should you wish to go ahead we will have weekly 60 minute counselling sessions. I recommend weekly sessions, however, this can be discussed and tailored to meet your needs. Some clients prefer fortnightly sessions and some clients will opt for less frequent sessions as they draw to an end.
It’s difficult to say how many sessions you will benefit from. We will have regular reviews and talk together about the focus for the counselling and how it is meeting your needs but you can end counselling at any time, it really is about what is right for you.
