My Approach

In my professional experience I find it useful to meet with everyone in the
household at least for the first session when that is appropriate (unless you are
requesting an individual appointment for yourself or it is more appropriate to meet with me as a couple without children present). I find that when family members have an opportunity to discuss their concerns together, they are often a resource to one another and can find new perspectives to tap into the resilience they already have to manage this. It is also useful to me to be able hear everyone’s point of view, so that I get a wider picture. I am passionate about finding useful and positive frames to increase options and to explore possibilities for change.
