Our relationship

When we first meet we'll have a discussion about you, your history and what you need. I ask a few questions and offer you a space to do the same. If it feels right for both of us, we'll meet at the same time each week for 50 minutes.

​

Therapy is your time. If you're new to it,  you may have anxieties and expectations. You might want advice or find it hard to focus on your emotions. I can't tell you what to do but I'll listen, question, challenge and support you to find answers. Sometimes this is hard for you or me, or for both of us. This is part of our therapeutic relationship. We're looking to find a place where we connect and can be open with each other.

​

Most of the time will be spent with you talking. There may be times that we need to explore another form of expression. This could include using art work, movement, role play, writing and visualisation. The most important thing is that you feel safe when doing this.
