Some questions you may have

What happens first?

Initially I offer clients the opportunity to meet for 50 minutes to explore the possibility of our working together. If we feel that we can work; this is a joint decision, I ask for a commitment of 6 sessions, which are then reserved. We can work for a longer period if necessary, which will be reviewed on a regular basis. Once we agree to work together any missed sessions are charged for except holidays which are booked in.

Who comes to Therapy?

There is a misunderstanding that therapy is only for people with serious emotional or mental health problems. While this can be the case, therapy is increasingly being used by those of us who want to understand behaviours and emotional responses, increase self-awareness as well as for personal development.

While it's true that some people turn to therapy in times of crisis, other people come saying things like 'I feel stuck in my life' or 'Something's wrong but I don't know what it is'. What can be valuable is the opportunity to explore issues and concerns with someone who is separate from the rest of your life and won't be overwhelmed or shocked by what you say, and won't start telling you what to do!
