About me and my therapy practice
I offer integrative therapy drawing on person centred and psychodynamic theories with a focus on co-creating a strong therapeutic relationship to facilitate your own agency in finding ways to feel more whole in yourself and to navigate your own self-development and an exploration of your relational patterns. My theoretical lens posits that the more fully and deeply we know ourselves the more freedom we have to make choices in our own life and therefore, therapy is a process to explore reclaiming more of your authentic self.
I also work with people who’ve experienced systemic relational and reputational aggression - the subtle often invisible dynamics of exclusion, manipulation and covert bullying in group settings. I offer a thoughtful, understanding and non-judgemental space where these experiences can be understood and worked through.
Practice description
I work online so it's important that you have a private and confidential space where you won't be overheard or interrupted and that you have access to good wifi connectivity.
I offer a complimentary 15 minute call to see if we may potentially be a good fit together for the work. If we agree to go ahead with an initial session, this will serve as a further assessment and will be charged at my standard fee.
As is standard in therapy, I will provide a contract which provides terms and conditions for the work. Therapy requires boundaries or a frame and the contract is an important part of that. We will go through this together but I encourage you to read it and ask any questions you may have in the initial sessions.
Sessions are 50 mins long.
I have a 24 hour cancellation policy.
My first session
Useful things to know about your first session:
- It’s ok to be nervous, this is normal and you are not alone, many people are.
- It’s a conversation not an interview, you set the pace, we’ll only go where you are ready to go - nothing is forced.
- You don’t need the right words or a tidy reason, “I’m not sure where to begin” is a perfectly good place to begin.
- You decide what happens next - there’s no pressure to continue. I’d encourage you to try a few different therapists - the therapeutic relationship really matters, and finding the right fit for you will make all the difference.
The first session serves as an assessment, and potentially we may be assessing the fit and the work together for the first 3-5 sessions as we explore your experiences and your reasons for coming to therapy. These initial sessions are charged at my standard rate.
Therefore, please be aware that If I decide that the work may not be a good fit for me and my skills or for online working that it is in no way a personal rejection of you but that it is about putting your best interests first. I don't offer specific referrals to other therapists but I hope that through our initial assessment sessions that you will have a clearer understanding of the work you are seeking to do to facilitate you in finding the right therapist.
In these first sessions, it may be that you don't feel I'm the right fit for you, please know that I won't be offended or take this personally and I'm open to discussing this and hearing any feedback you may have.
