What to expect
It may come as a surprise, but very often problems or questions suffered in silence may be far less severe than you imagine.
The first step is to contact me. I'll either call you or email you with a suggested initial appointment.
During your initial consultation I'll collect some details about you, what's brought you to seek therapy, and what you'd like to get out of our appointments.
We'll chat about how we can work together and establish a framework within which we'll work. For example, many people benefit from weekly sessions, whilst others find that fortnightly sessions work better, allowing more time to process the work we've done.
Appointments for individuals usually last 60 minutes and couples benefit from longer sessions of up to 90 minutes. I also offer longer appointments which are particularly useful for couples with limited time available.
My Individual appointments are usually 60 minutes duration, but these may be longer should you want to dig deeper during a single session.
I don't view this work as an analysis of the past, instead it is your journey forward with an experienced guide to travel with you, towards your own specific goals and desires. It will usually be necessary to draw on your past, but always with the intention of looking forwards towards your hopes and dreams.
It can be hard to find someone to talk things over with who is not only trained, but has “been there”. I consider myself to be a community therapist with a global view of psychology, psychotherapy and sexuality. My extensive life experience enables me to listen to you deeply and without judgement, whilst holding a mirror to enable you to look at your life from a different angle.
