My working hours are 8am to 3pm Tuesday to Friday

The main focus of my work is on the creation, building, deepening and exploration of the relationship between practitioner and client and of the exploration, acknowledgement and understanding of the many relationships of the client outside of the consulting room. This involves not only an enquiry into the history of their relationships with significant others in the outside world (family members, partners, friends, colleagues) but also a journey of discovery of their internal world and a meeting with their many constituent parts. To this end I draw understanding from a wide range of theoretical frameworks including Humanistic and Psychodynamic theories: Attachment Theory, Person Centred Theory, Internal Family Systems, Body Work, Jungian Depth Psychology, Polyvagal Theory, etc. 

Sessions last 60mns and are usually scheduled at a regular time on set days. During the sessions, a conversation will take shape during which I will follow the client and offer questions in a "dance" that will lead us to uncover areas of enquiry that seem relevant to finding a satisfying degree of resolution and healing.

Creativity and imagination are essential to my practice as they are to growth and resilience. This means I will offer the possibility to integrate activities based on writing, playing, graphic and modelling expression, and movement to sessions. Literature, poetry, film, fairy tales all have their place in my practice and I often call to them to enhance and deepen the work. 

The first session is the opportunity for client and practitioner to meet and assess their suitability to work together. A decision to carry on with the work on both parts will only be confirmed afterwards. This is why I only charge for the first session if the client decides to pursue the therapy work further.

Only after the client and therapist have agreed to work together will I draw a contract to define the terms of our relationship.
