How I work

zen-stone-path-japanese-garden-32041761

Whether you are in search of short-term, solution-focused therapy, or looking for longer term counselling, I offer an adaptable approach and personalised plan of action, adjusting to your individual needs and working together with you towards your personal goals.
 
Psychotherapy can be a powerful platform to create a trustworthy, non-judgemental space where challenging matters in our lives can be addressed, in order to understand them and find ways of managing them. Through therapy, we can view our difficulties differently and learn new strategies to overcome our struggles. 

The first meeting

In our first meeting, we will discuss the challenges and difficulties you face, what your goals are in this regard and what you are looking to get out of therapy, in addition to any relevant background information or history you may feel are necessary to bring up.

Here, we can work together towards a plan of action, including both short-term and long-term actions and changes to make; this plan can be adjusted over the course of counselling as needed.

I use a range of therapeutic models in my practice, and I will discuss with you which approaches are best for your individual needs.

Feel free to ask questions about how I work or voice any concerns you may feel during the first meeting.
