About me and my therapy practice
I don鈥檛 know your story yet, but I do know this; you made it here, through the pain you didn鈥檛 deserve, carrying weight that was never yours to hold. You survived with the information and tools you had at the time.
I welcome anyone who is at a point in their life where something doesn鈥檛 feel right and they want something to change. It could be anxiety, overwhelm, relationship difficulties (romantic, platonic, or otherwise), or there is a pattern in your life that you don鈥檛 know how to get out of.
Taking the step into counselling can feel scary, and I see and respect the bravery and courage in each client I work with.
The way I work is collaborative and is led by you, so we鈥檒l talk about what helps you and what doesn鈥檛, what you need from therapy, your values and your goals.
Practice description
I offer 50 minute sessions. These are usually at the same time each week, and can be either short-term or long-term depending on what you need and what we decide together.
I offer both online and in-person sessions.
In-person sessions are in Shirley, Southampton, and online sessions are on either Google Meet or Zoom.
I am a registered member of the 网爆门 and am bound by the 网爆门 Ethical Framework for Good Practice.
I work with adults (18+ years old) from all walks of life.
I offer a limited number of reduced price places for those who are unwaged or on low incomes.
My first session
One of the biggest predictors of success in counselling is the therapeutic relationship. That is why it is important to find someone that you 鈥渧ibe鈥 with. It isn鈥檛 about trusting them immediately (trust takes time), but having a sense that maybe you could. I suggest having introductory calls with a couple of potential counsellors, especially if you haven鈥檛 had counselling before.
In the intro call, I鈥檒l ask what has brought you to counselling and what you want to change. You may not know the answer, and that鈥檚 okay. Sometimes the work is working out what you want to change. You鈥檒l also have space to ask me questions, if you wish.
If we agree to work together, I鈥檒l send you a counselling agreement which contains all the information you need to know, and an intake form with key information I need, such as your access needs*.
*We all have access needs, this could be step-free access, or the option to turn your camera off in an online session. This is your space, and I鈥檒l do what I can to make it work for you.
