My Therapeutic Approach
Together, we work towards increasing self-understanding and empowerment, helping you to manage life’s challenges in a way that feels more balanced and fulfilling.
I place great importance on the therapeutic relationship and the trust built between therapist and client. I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and work in line with their ethical framework. I value empathy, respect, and authenticity, and I am committed to supporting individuals in developing meaningful strategies that promote positive change and emotional wellbeing.
What to Expect at the Start of Therapy?
During this discussion, we will also briefly cover the counselling contract, including confidentiality, session structure, timings, and cancellation arrangements. This allows us both to gain a clear understanding of how the therapy process works.
This initial meeting is a chance for us to ask questions and explore whether working together feels like the right fit. It is important that you feel comfortable, informed, and supported in your decision. If we both feel that therapy together would be beneficial, we can then arrange ongoing sessions, either online, by telephone, or face to face.
Should you choose to begin therapy, we may agree on an initial six-week block of sessions, with the option to review and extend this if it feels appropriate. Alternatively, sessions can remain open-ended, allowing you to attend as frequently or for as long as feels right for you.
