My Practice: I currently offer one to one counselling / therapy for adults in person at Muswell Health, a multidisciplinary Complementary Therapy Centre in central Muswell Hill, N10. I also offer on line sessions.
How I work: I am a relational integrative therapist. The relational part refers to the relationship between the client and the therapist which I see as a collaborative partnership. The integrative part means that depending on you and what you bring, I draw on different ways of understanding human experience to support our conversations. This may sometimes involve exploring links between your past and the present, to help bring your experiences, your thoughts and feelings into focus, to help support new awareness.
Most importantly, I am interested in getting to know you, to explore together the things that you find difficult and the things that you would like to be different. I strive to be always warmly accepting, empathetic and professionally respectful.
Practicalities: I always start with a phone call. This is an opportunity for me to hear a little about what you are hoping for in beginning therapy and for you to hear a little about how I work and to ask any questions. Its main purpose is to help both of us decide if this is a good fit.
If we decide to begin working together, we will agree a regular time to meet each week and for how many weeks. For short term therapy, I normally like to commit to 8 to 12 weeks or we can decide to keep it open ended with regular reviews as to how we are doing. All sessions last 50 minutes and cost £80 a session.
