Our therapy sessions together
What’s going on?
Bespoke therapy sessions
This world is certainly complicated at times, but a lot smoother with the right support network. I am here for you as you work things out. There may be times I offer insights, help reveal your blind spots, uncover the coping mechanisms you use, help you understand attachment and relationship styles and also consider your own helpful and unhelpful conditions of worth.
Throughout our counselling appointments, I will listen with enhanced care and supply you with an abundance of unconditional specialised support. I have many years of experience and training that has honed my skills to be a safe and highly beneficial therapist .
You may decide to spend time unpicking your past, deepening your understanding and self-compassion. Reflecting this way can be a really helpful tool in building resilience and confidence to improve your wellbeing. Looking back can sometimes feel a little daunting, so rest assured I will help you manage this process by setting a pace that suits you and promoting some useful coping strategies and developing a self-care package.
Alongside this, or alternatively, you may be interested in realigning yourself with your current needs. Working in the here and now allows us to acknowledge and accurately identify our emotions more deeply and learn to hold them. This can lead to personal growth and self-acceptance and perhaps drawing closer our self image to our ideal self.
Together we can improve your wellbeing, connect with me to find out more.
Starting therapy
You can email, call, text me or fill in the contact form here to start therapy with me.
Feel free to ask me any questions you have.
From there, I email out some paperwork that explains some more about how we can work together and there is a form for you to fill in. You can see a copy of these here, if you’re interested.
Then we find a time that suits you for the therapy to start.
First sessions often involve getting to know each other a little more, and about why you are here and what you would like. We work on setting a pace that feels right for you, with no assumptions. This is the unique space, just for you to be you. I will hold you safely.
