Therapy Services
Approach, Payments, and Availability:
My therapeutic approach
My approach to therapy is humanistic and integrative, based in what is known as the person-centred approach. This works from the position that you are the expert on your own life, and my role as counsellor is to support you as you explore what that means for you.
I primarily use 'talking therapy', but I often incorporate other tools, such as art therapy, creative tools such as metaphor and imagery, and simple breathing techniques, if there is interest and it is relevant to the work we are doing together.
Our work together will be collaborative - it is always ok to say if something isn't working for you, and we will explore alternative approaches together.
I believe that therapy should be tailored to each individual - we all have a unique combination of life experiences, and our experience of therapy should reflect this.
Sessions and fees
I currently work online, with individuals aged 18yrs and over.
For online counselling, I use the VSee platform, which is a low bandwidth, encrypted software tool, used by the medical sector.
I use a 'pay what you can afford' model for sessions, working within a pre-determined payment range, where you decide on an amount for sessions that feels manageable for you. This is a project which works with the concept of community, where those who want to pay a little more, are able to create some flexibility for those who need to pay a bit less.
The payment range for new clients is between £20-50.
This flexibility is only possible if you are honest and realistic about what you can afford to pay. However, individual circumstances can change, and our agreed payment level can be renegotiated at any point during the course of our work together.
I offer a free 20 minute introductory session, to allow us both to see if we can work well together. It is important to know that we won't explore issues in depth at this session.
Each full session will be approximately 50 minutes in length, and will be scheduled at the same time each week. This consistency is important at the start of our work together, but can be adapted as needed if we continue to work together for a longer duration.
