Approach and help

Approach and
help

I am a Humanistic Integrative therapist, primarily using the Person-centred approach, blending further theories, concepts and techniques to support you, and help you make sense of life. Therapy is often an on-going process requiring commitment in order to benefit from making positive and significant changes to one’s life; it takes time to explore the relationship you have with yourself and with others. Sessions are reviewed on a regular basis as we evolve together. This ensures I adjust my style to meet my client’s distinct requirements.

I work with:
Adults
Neurodivergent adults
Older adults

SINGLE-SESSION THERAPY

SINGLE-SESSION THERAPY

SST is an opportunity to experience the benefits of a therapeutic environment. It’s not crisis counselling if you are experiencing a mental health emergency. You’ll receive effective therapeutic support that’s dynamic and focussed, which is delivered to those seeking help when working through specific issues swiftly, i.e. to strengthen a relationship, tackle a problem, improve listening and communication skills, etc. This session is a two-hour slot as opposed to the traditional block of therapy sessions; however, single-session therapy isn’t necessarily restricted to one appointment.

SHORT OR LONG TERM
COUNSELLING
AND PSYCHOTHERAPY

Time limited therapy is suitable for those with a specific objective in mind and you may only require 6 sessions – 12 sessions. On-the-other-hand, some clients prefer a more structured approach that requires deeper introspection to explore deep rooted emotions.

CANCELLATION

CANCELLATION

I recognise unforeseen events and emergencies crop up on the rare occasion. Therefore, I try to be as accommodating as possible. In such circumstances, I try to re-schedule appointments to a mutually agreed time. If this isn’t possible, I operate a 48-hour cancellation policy. Should a client cancel their session with less than 48 hours’ notice, the contracted fee will be charged.

Occasionally, something may prevent me from delivering a session. I will give as much notice as possible if this should arise. There is no charge to the client.
