Initial Consultation Making sure you feel comfortable is my main priority, so you are always free to give me a call before booking your first therapy session. Please don’t hesitate to share your concerns or ask any questions during this chat. Therapy, after all, is a two-way process, and the more you put into it, the more you get out. I will also walk you through what to expect from our sessions together and, if you wish, provide you with a copy of the Ethical Principles on which my practice is built ahead of scheduling your first assessment session. This assessment session involves us looking at your history and broader issues.
I am a holistic integrative talking therapist, which means we look at all aspects of your emotional and spiritual life ahead of deciding on a particular kind of therapy that suits your needs. Depending on your situation, I can draw from a variety of different approaches, which include: - EMDR - Hypnotherapy - Psychotherapy - Solution-Focused Therapy
People don’t grow up aspiring to be therapists; life has a way of bringing them there. For me, certain events shaped my determination and ability to help others, to give them the support and understanding they need. Working with people of all backgrounds has helped me develop and learn every day. I love what I do, and do what I love.
