Initial Consultation
I strive to create a welcoming and comfortable environment for my clients from the very beginning. When you reach out to me, I am happy to offer a free 20 minute introduction to get to know you, and understand what you’re looking for in therapy. I want to make sure that we're a good fit for each other, so you may have prepared a set of questions you’d like to ask me.
If we decide to go ahead, this is an overview of what happens next:
- Questionnaire - to find out your preferences.
- Contract- (to complete before the Initial consultation).
- Initial Consultation- this will be arranged at a time that suites (Fee £75 for 1hr 30mins payable before)
This will help me learn more about your personal experiences, and your world view. I would like to know what is important to you? Is it race, ethnicity, gender, or identity? What do I need to be mindful of?
By understanding the bigger picture of your life, including your strengths, and personal interests, we can tailor our sessions to meet your unique needs. My goal is to create a safe, and supportive space, online where you can explore thoughts and emotions without fear of judgement.
My Approach
If you decide to work with me, you can expect a warm and compassionate approach to therapy. I am committed to helping you build resilience, improve your self-esteem, and cultivate positive relationships. I believe everyone has the potential for growth and change, and I am here to support you on your journey towards a healthier and happier life.
Person Centred and Integrative
My main approach to being a counsellor and psychotherapist, means offering a person- centred approach. This means that our work together is focused on you and led by you. Finding out what you want from therapy is important. A person-centred approach is based on the idea that you have the capacity to grow and change in a positive way, and you also have the power to do so.
Integrative counselling and psychotherapy just means that I treat each client as an individual, with unique experiences and specific needs. After learning about you and your experiences, I will tailor any approaches we use in sessions, so you can achieve your goals and fulfil your potential.
Approaches I draw upon
The approaches I draw upon in our sessions together depend on you, your circumstances and your specific needs and goals. I may draw upon the following:
- Cognitive Behavioural (CBT)
- Humanistic
- Integrative
- Person-Centred
- Psychodynamic
