Approach to All Therapies & How I Work

When you contact us, we'll match you to the most suitable member of our therapy team depending upon your needs, your location and availability. Your counsellor or psychotherapist will then get in touch with you to arrange an initial phone call followed by the first face to face or online session.

During this initial session, they will explore what has brought you to therapy and what you would like to achieve or change through the work. They will also explore more around your past so that they can gain a real understanding of what has led to your current struggles. At the end of your initial session, if you choose to go ahead, they will book you in for regular sessions, usually once a week on the same day and same time.

There are no minimum or maximum number of sessions to commit to, we simply carry on working until you feel that you have achieved your goals of therapy. For some people this is a few months, others come for many years.

We are flexible with our appointment days and times so we can work around your unique needs. Your wellbeing is our number one priority.
