About me and my therapy practice

I work integratively, meaning that I use a combination of approaches in my work with you because there are different ways in which to understand ourselves and our uniqueness. The core of my practice is person-centred which engenders a therapeutic relationship leading to growth and change. Change can be hard, but it is not something you have to do alone. You set the direction and the pace. My role is not to be an expert guide, but rather to be engaged companion offering you a relationship in which you can feel at ease with me, even whilst exploring difficult things.

Practice description

An important part of what clients gain from counselling depends on the trust within the therapeutic relationship, which therapeutic approaches I use. The early part of my work with you will be about building trust, so that you know that I am accepting of who you are. Anti-discriminatory practices are a guiding principle of my client work.

My first session

After you've made contact, I will arrange a free 20-minute chat to hear a little about what you would like to achieve in counselling. This gives us a sense of each other, and whether we can work together. If you decide to go ahead, I will share my counselling agreement which sets out how we would work together as well as a form for you to complete about yourself. A part of the initial session will be answering any questions arising from those, agreeing any adaptations and ensuring that we have a basis from which to work safely and respectfully together.
