Choosing the right therapist is important. Research has shown that the relationship is the most important factor in effective counselling. So choosing a therapist that you feel comfortable with and that you can trust is important. There are many different approaches offered by therapists, including Humanistic, CBT, Gestalt, and many others. There is also the integrative approach which uses a combination of different approaches.

During therapy you will be expected to talk about issues that you are experiencing and the therapist will aid exploration of your issues to provide you with a better understanding of your experiences. Together with the therapist, you will find how best to move forward.

Most people have therapy for one 50 minute session per week. Therapy can be short term or long term, depending on your needs. Sometimes once the work has begun, we can get a clearer picture of how many sessions will be suitable. If in therapy and you decide that it is the right time to leave, you can raise this with me and we can decide an ending date and work towards ending the therapy.

I ask for a minimum of a 48 hour cancellation notice. If this is not made, I will charge the cost of the session. This is not only to protect the therapist, but also your commitment to the process of therapy. I will also let you know if I am unable to make a session due to illness or holiday as soon as possible.

Any other service that I offer, such as group coaching, blogs, workshops are not therapy but are coaching or for psychoeducational purposes. Clients that engage in one-to-one therapy may not able to participate in my coaching programs to protect the client-therapist relationship.

You can schedule a free 20 minute introductory call where we can talk briefly about what you need, what I can offer and answer any questions that you have.
