My Approach

If this is your first experience of therapy, it can feel a bit daunting. Please don’t worry.

The first appointment is an assessment session, which gives me a chance to check that I am the best person to help you and gives you a chance to work out if this type of counselling feels comfortable and right for you. Often it is the first time people have spoken about their situation and it might be that you won’t want to tell me everything straight away. That is fine too.

Sessions will move at a pace that you are happy with. Those first appointments help me understand what has brought you to therapy and to identify any desired outcomes. For couples, individual sessions will always be offered to allow space for each person to explain what is happening for them. For psychosexual treatment, appropriate discussions and psychoeducation of a sexual nature are likely to be part of the sessions.
