Free 15-minute Consultation
It is important you feel happy and comfortable with the therapeutic process and you feel in control of what is happening to you. A 15-minute telephone consultation will involve a preliminary discussion of your difficulties and what may be helpful for you.
Initial Appointment
If you would like to go ahead then we will make an initial appointment, during which we will discuss your difficulties in more depth and start to make sense of them. We will start building a plan together, including the approaches we might try and how we will review our progress.
Subsequent Sessions
We will meet, usually on a weekly basis, for a 50-minute session and I will guide you through the therapeutic process, so that hopefully, things start to change, and you notice improvements in your life. Depending on the approach we use, you might be asked to do homework in between sessions, but this will be decided upon in a collaborative manner.

- We have an ethical and legal obligation to share information if it was considered that you or other people are at risk of serious harm, and this would be to ensure safety. If this is applicable to you then every effort would be made to discuss this.
