Availability
I work Monday to Thursday, mainly from 2pm to 7pm, though I do occasionally see people during the morning if they cannot come when I normally work. I do offer online sessions when needed.
About me and my therapy practice
Most of my work is face to face. Ideally I see people for an initial consultation to provide you with the opportunity to discuss your needs and let me assess what I can do to help you. I will provide you with an idea of how long it is likely to take, normally between eight and twelve sessions, depending on the approach.
Couples sessions, I see each partner individually for a session first and then bring you together as a couple. We do not normally try to resolve your immediate rupture in your relationship straight away. Normally there is a process of relationship building and strengthening first to make you strong enough as a couple to work on what needs to change and how best for you to develop.
Practice description
I offer Humanistic counselling, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) as well as psychodynamic therapy (exploring past issues). I am happy to work with any psychological issue. I also offer couples counselling using the approach known as IMAGO.
