About me and my therapy practice
The Covid 19 virus is impacting on us all. Many people are experiencing increased anxiety and other difficulties in adjusting to this new situation. This can also make existing problems even harder to cope with.
Normally I work through face to face therapy sessions but as that is not possible at present I am offering sessions through video calls and phone calls instead.
Sessions are for one hour during which time I would work together with you to help you understand your problems and what lies behind them, and to help you find a way through.
Sessions usually take place weekly. How many sessions depends on what you yourself feel you need. I have experience in providing both long and short term therapy for a wide range of problems
I qualified from the Amsterdam Institute of Psychosynthesis in 1996. On my return to the UK I did another 5 years formal psychotherapy training at the Bath Centre for Psychotherapy and Counselling in order to broaden and deepen what I can offer as a therapist.
Since 1991 I have followed a wide variety of self-development and professional development trainings and I continue to do this as an important way of enriching my work.
Practice description
At present I am available by phone or through Skype/Zoom on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.
My first session
The initial session is the place where I can hear about what is bothering you and where we can both look to see if I am the right person for you to work with. If we both agree to continue then this is also where we discuss practicalities. The initial session is charged at my usual rate of £48.
