About me and my therapy practice
March 2024: Three-sessions of Gestalt Acu-balancing for £120.
I'm offering a limited number of these to people who want to explore using body-based energy psychology stress management methods to support counselling.
Fee is £40 each week for three consecutive weeks. See 'Counselling > Appointment FAQs > Fees' on my site for sliding-scale fee details if we continue working after that.
Practice description
An experienced therapist, I offer:
- Short and long-term counselling.
- Stress management support using Gestalt Acu-balancing or Autogenic Therapy (AT). While both practices can be integrated into ongoing counselling, AT can also be offered as a stand-alone course.
- Careers guidance and strengths coaching.
Feel free to check out my website. As well as saying more about how we could work together, it has links to self-help resources you may find useful.
My first session
All forms of support
Our first session costs £40 (usual fee thereafter is £50) and involves exploring and clarifying what brought you here and starting to identify what you want to change in your life. I may ask you to complete a self-assessment questionnaire after the session if you're experiencing high levels of distress. We would discuss your answers to this in session two.
Gestalt Acu-balancing
As well as the above, if time permits we'd complete a creative assessment of where you are now and would use straightforward energy psychology methods to help you integrate what you've done.
The two other sessions build on this and would include a variety of Gestalt Acu-tapping interventions to support the counselling process. You'd be asked to complete self-help practices between sessions. We'd then either end or carry on working together depending on your therapeutic needs.
Sessions two and three are also offered at the reduced fee of £40 each week for the people I accept into this offer. Thereafter, usual fees apply.
