A Safe Space to Explore Life’s Challenges

Our first meeting will be an exploratory session. This will allow you to see what therapy is about, and decide if it will be beneficial for you to continue.

I will take some personal details and discuss confidentiality in the therapeutic relationship.

We will move on to look at your life and examine what has brought you to therapy at this time. We will also look at what you want to achieve from sessions.

At the end of this meeting, it is your decision whether to proceed further. If you decide that this is the right time for you to pursue change, we will usually contract for 6 sessions after which we review where we are.

If I think your needs will be best met elsewhere, I will offer a referral.

Therapy may involve either short term counselling or longer-term psychotherapy. This decision rests with you and what you want to achieve from the therapeutic process.

While I am qualified in the use of psychodynamic and humanistic approaches, I mainly work from a psychodynamic perspective, using elements of other models where appropriate.
