Therapy can facilitate change for what doesn't work for you in your life and help you to become the best version of yourself. It can help you to get to know, like, value and respect yourself more rather than fighting internally against yourself.

Usually, the first session is usually about getting to know you, your history and current situation. An action plan is developed to focus on your objectives. We will also discuss the number of sessions that work best for you.

As we build a relationship, we'll be able to look at your thoughts, feelings and behaviour surrounding the issues you're bringing to session. There may be patterns of repetition or themes that we can explore. We can make use psychotherapeutic models, appropriate coping and management strategies while working towards your goal.

Everyone is different - most people come for a series of sessions once a week. Typically, we'll have a review every 6 sessions and also discuss how you want to proceed. Short term work tends to be 6-8 sessions, medium term about 18 sessions, while others may want the benefits of long term work. It depends on what you are looking to achieve as well as your availability and budget.

It's up to you if you share and how much, but you should never feel obligated to tell anyone. Sessions are often profoundly private and personal and should be respected. You have a choice to share or not, even if someone else pays for your sessions.

Parking is available in the car park opposite or on the street side. I don’t have a waiting area though, so I would respectfully ask you to arrive when your session is due to begin and be mindful of people who may be finishing their session
