What to expect during your therapeutic journey…
We won't just focus on managing symptoms. Together, we will explore with curiosity what might be holding you back, help you untangle difficult thoughts and emotions, and build practical tools to help you move forward. My approach is collaborative, warm, practical and tailored to your unique needs, drawing primarily on evidence-based approaches like Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT).
A typical therapeutic engagement will involve 3 stages:
Stage 1: Getting Started
First, register your interest via this form. You will be emailed a welcome pack explaining the process.
We will schedule a regular session time (weekly is recommended to establish momentum) starting with an initial assessment session so I can understand what's been going on for you, and we mutually agree on therapeutic goals and the best treatment plan for you.
Stage 2: Making Progress
During subsequent sessions, you will have the opportunity to explore your difficulties in a safe and compassionate environment, whilst building insight and developing practical skills to help navigate these challenges.
Stage 3: Celebrating Success
When you start to feel better and feel like you don't need therapy anymore, we can have a summary session revising your progress and your new skills, and put in a plan for the future for prevention and early intervention. I also offer periodic booster sessions for additional support.
