Issues tend to be the manifestation of everything that has gone before. The root causes are often mired by the variety of coping mechanisms adopted but the sessions are able to work through these to find the root, identify the connections to adult life and work to heal them - enabling the present-day impacts to be resolved from the bottom up. The result is a more solid, positive foundation upon which to go forward with the rest of your life, free from the things previously holding you back.

From the very beginning, it is kind, caring, supportive process that helps guide you forward. There is never any criticism, only unconditional, positive regard and progress at a pace to suit you. You are enabled to breathe, relax and be yourself. There can be tasks to do between sessions and, while this is not school so entirely your choice as to whether you do them, your progress will be faster if you do.

Sessions are continually adjusted as we go, to best suit your needs in the light of what ever we discover on our journey to your recovery.

GDPR/ICO Data Protection: No session notes are kept online, making it impossible for such data to be hacked. Instead, I use a locked filing cabinet, securely located within my home-based office. To further enhance your data security, personal details are securely kept separately, also on paper - the two never meet.

I am enhanced DBS checked/cleared and based in MK9 and MK10 - within easy reach of the Milton Keynes area and nearby Northampton and Bedford.

Last Session
When clients are ready to part ways, the door is never closed. Former clients are always welcome to come back for a 'top up' session - an example is a client who got back in touch when expecting their first child. One session was all it took.

If you have never been to therapy before, don't worry. Am one of those people who is simply not at all scary - as both my clients, and students and children before them, have told me. 

You are free to breathe, relax and be yourself. 

No time is wasted filling out forms or paperwork that you can do at home.
