You. Me. Us

Here you’ll find some practical information on how therapy sessions operate and how we will work together.

Getting started

We will begin with a brief introductory telephone discussion, where I will seek to increase my understanding about what you are seeking from therapy. You will be able to ask any questions that you may have, get a ‘feel’ for me and how we may work together. At the same time, we will arrange a convenient day and time for your initial session.

During our first session, we will clarify your goals and concerns, whilst I get to know more about you and you start to feel more comfortable with me. If you decide to proceed we will agree an outline plan for your therapy. Regular hourly sessions will follow and we will build in check-ins and reviews.

I offer shorter term contracts as well as medium term or open ended contracts, depending on what you are looking to gain from your therapeutic journey.

On-going reflection and review

As you progress, we will periodically reflect on your emerging self realisations, reviewing and adapting your needs and goals to what emerges as most relevant to you. Therapy is a unique journey of self-discovery and change and so I will be aiming to adapt our work in line with your own progressions. To support you throughout, hoping that you can grow and develop in more light-hearted ways .

The real journey of personal change is tricky, confusing, painful at times, but it’s also a journey of enormous courage and reward.

Feel empowered by your journey.
