I am seeing clients online during the current situation.

About me and my therapy practice

I offer long or short term counselling and psychotherapy. My approach is psycho-dynamic. When going through difficult periods in life, it can be helpful to talk things through and put your feelings into words. Making sense of the past can sometimes inform the present. It can be freeing to find the words for feelings and reflect on your present situation. New understandings and perspectives can mean the future can be approached with more choice and creativity. Losses, hurts and frustrations can find new meanings as you make sense of uncomfortable feelings, and new choices and opportunities can become apparent.

I have moved my practice online during the current situation.

Practice description

I see adults for long and short term counselling.

My first session

During the first session I will ask about the current difficulties which brought the client to counselling. I will also ask their about family background and earlier experiences to get a sense of where they are coming from. I will suggest thinking about what the client is  hoping for by coming into therapy and if we decide to go ahead think about how we can plan some regualr sessions at a mutually convenient time. We will think about the contract, what I offer including confidentiality issues and how payment will be made.
