About me and my therapy practice

It's difficult choosing a therapist - I know, I've done it myself! One of the most important things you'll be looking for is how I work. I'm a person-centred therapist which means our work together is about you and me, about our relationship. I hope to establish trust between us from our first session.  By meeting regularly, talking together, you sharing what's causing problems in your life and how you're feeling, me listening and understanding as well as I can, then hopefully things can start to feel better. I'm also fully trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) which can be very helpful if you have experienced trauma. I like to develop our therapeutic relationship before using EMDR as trust between therapist and client is vital for this process to feel safe.

Practice description

I'm flexible about how I work with you. Whether you prefer online, face-to-face or telephone, as long as we can find days and times that work for both of us, we can use whatever medium you prefer. I will, however, practise EMDR only in person. 

My first session

I suggest an initial phone chat for new clients - a 'get-to-know-you' conversation for us both. I often describe looking for a therapist as 'shopping for a counsellor'.  You wouldn't invest in something expensive - whatever it is - without trying it out first. These short calls are free. You want to know that you feel comfortable talking to me and I need to find out what's been troubling you. I'll ask you a few questions about you and your life, but mainly it's an exploratory call for us both.
