In-Person 1:1 Counselling

As an integrative counsellor, a key aspect is acknowledging that you are a unique individual—there is no "one size fits all" when it comes to therapy, or one single 'right' approach. Rather than sticking to just one rigid method, I draw on a variety of therapeutic tools and theories—such as Person-Centered, CBT, and Psychodynamic approaches—to suit your specific needs. This allows both flexibility and creativity, tailoring our work together to fit your personality, your history, and your goals for the future. I love to bring a creative and visual element into therapy, if helpful to our work. Essentially, I adapt my way of working to meet you exactly where you are.

If our session is In-Person, you will be met by myself at the gate and taken through to the room. As you arrive there will be time to choose from a variety of hot and cold drinks as you settle into the space. If we have not already spoken, we will discuss what brings you to therapy and any goals you may have. I will take you through the contractual agreement, with space to ask any questions you may have. There is no pressure to sign the contract straight away, but should you wish to, we will then plan session times and moving forward. If our session is Online, then a contractual agreement will be sent electronically, with the same availability to discuss any questions or our work together.

The number of sessions varies for everyone because your journey is entirely unique to you. Some people find that 6 to 12 sessions are enough to focus on a specific, immediate challenge, while others choose to work together on a long-term or open-ended basis. In our first few meetings, we will discuss what you’re hoping to achieve and check in regularly to see how you’re feeling. Ultimately, you are in control—we will work at a pace that feels right for you, and we’ll decide together when you feel ready to bring our sessions to a close.
