About me and my therapy practice
Do you feel down, unhappy, or lost? Does life and its everyday demands make you feel overwhelmed, stressed, anxious? Do your relationships seem difficult, distant, argumentative? Have you recently lost a loved one, job, friend, pet? Or do you simply not feel yourself anymore?
At times life can get like its all too much. Whether you are struggling with ongoing issues, or past difficulties, there is no need to suffer in silence and keep going on your own. The accepting nature of therapy and the rapport with your therapist will help you voice, clarify and understand your thoughts and feelings.
The world can make you feel powerless, but you can take control. You can give yourself a voice, and a chance to make a change.
Let me be your guide, your witness, your biggest fan.
Practice description
Solo sessions are 50 minutes long.
Relationship sessions are 60 minutes long. (These sessions are not restricted to couples. These can include parents and children, siblings, other family relations, friendships, etc.)
The basis of the sessions is talking in a safe, confidential space.
Apart from person-centred style I use techniques from CBT, psychoanalysis, TA, solution focused, Inner child techniques, and relationship theories. These are tailored to each individual, or relationship according to their needs.
My first session
In your first session with me, you will experience how I work. You will be able to decide if you feel comfortable enough to share what is on your mind. Through conversation with me you will be able to gage my personality and therapeutic energy and whether you find the sessions helpful.
At the end of the session you decide if or how to proceed. There are no strings attached, not every counsellor suits every client.
The same fees apply to the initial session.
