About me and my therapy practice
Stress and anxiety can creep into our lives from all sorts of places whether its struggling with substance use to feeling down at work, navigating tricky relationships, or dealing with tough events. We're all human and let's face it none of us are perfect. Sometimes, we just need a bit of support to get through those rough patches. It's hard to watch someone you care about struggle, and often, family members seek support while supporting their loved ones.
I am a Stress, Anxiety, Well-Being Specialist and I am trained in Transactional Psychotherapy.
Practice description
I can work alongside you to enable you to create a calmer and less stressful way of being….giving you control back to your life. With your say-so I can offer you some tools to help you along the way . I promise to listen to you without any judgment, but I'll also be real with you.
If you are wanting to embark on therapy lets have a chat first. I offer a free 15 minute consultation. I want to know briefly what has brought you to your decision for wanting therapy. This also gives you the opportunity to decide if I am the right therapist for you.
My first session
Firstly, I want to acknowledge the courage it takes to reach out and take the first steps towards seeking help.
I offer a free 15-minute consultation by phone if you would like to have a chat before starting.
If you prefer to get started right away, I’d like to share how I approach the initial stages of a therapeutic journey. It’s crucial to find the right therapist for you, and a 15-minute call may not be enough to fully understand your situation. Therefore, I prefer to have a full hour, for our first session on the phone, to delve into your history and get to know you better. The charge for this is £50. This will also give you a sense of whether I am the right therapist for you.
If you decide to proceed with therapy, we will need to agree on how we will work together. I can send you my terms and conditions and contract which you will need to agree to before we begin.
I have a small practice alongside a full-time job, so my slots do fill up quickly. I can inform you of my available slots.
