About me and my therapy practice
I undertake both short and long-term therapy. I am a Counsellor/Psychotherapist. I practice Integratively (attending to the client's needs)and also Psychodynamically . I also use, where appropriate, the tools of CBT. I am a trained Bereavement Counsellor having previously managed a Hospice Bereavement Service for 5 years.
Practice description
My practice is at my home. Adequate parking is available in my drive or in the lane outside my house.
There is a bus stop at the end of my road.
My first session
My first session lasts for one hour and is an Assessment of the client and his/her issues. This enables me to understand the client's needs and whether I can help and allows him or her to decide whether I would be someone they can work with. I take a history of the client - social and family of origin; current family unit and also about any relationships they may have had or are still in.- work. I also undertake a health check, both physical and mental health.
I consider understanding a client's Attachment history to be really helpful particularly where Relationships and Trauma are concerned.
I am also able to offer therapy via telephone or Zoom sessions.
