I am available on Mondays and Tuesdays reliably but understand life is unpredictable and can offer some flexibility

I am unavailable on Wednesdays before 2:00pm, and Thursdays/Fridays before 6:00pm

Seeking therapy can be as confusing and daunting as the problems that prompt us toward it. I am here to support you through that journey. I see my role as facilitative and aim to help empower you as we define, discover and work jointly toward your goals.

I believe we each tend toward our own best interests and that we are our own experts. I also believe growth and healing needs facilitating. To this end, I work relationally and am interested in how our pasts, experience and ways of relating to our experience influence our present.

I am deeply curious about our ways of symbolising experience and work creatively with imagery. I find this to be one of the safest and most effective ways to make contact with ourselves and the therapeutic experience.

If you feel I could help you, please feel free to make contact.

I currently work online and plan to offer face-to-face sessions in Derby in due course

I believe a first appointment should establish a sense of containment and space in a way which represents (and underpins) any following appointments as closely as possible. I aim to minimise any potentially distracting administrative elements that can sometime characterise the assessment process. 

I will invite you to lead with anything at the front of your mind and aim to support and understand as you venture into potentially difficult subjects. I will also briefly explain my approach, we will discuss the contract and I will have some questions already in mind to ask. This is to ensure we begin any work with a shared understanding of it.
