How I work
My approach is psychodynamic. This means that together we will explore your feelings, fears and challenges by understanding that they can have their roots in past experiences.
Sometimes, making links with things that have happened before can help us to understand how they have shaped our current feelings and behaviours and to recognise any unhelpful or repeating patterns.
I offer open-ended therapy, where the number of sessions isn’t fixed but determined by your needs. I also offer short-term therapy if there are one or two specific issues that you would like to work on. Sessions are for a period of 50 minutes on a weekly basis, always at the same time on the same day.
Where I work
I have a private practice, working from my therapy room close to the centre of St Albans, and from therapy spaces in both Luton and Wheathampstead. All have nearby free parking and are accessible by public transport. I can also offer therapy online or via telephone.
Fees
I charge £65 for a 50 minute session, and payments are to be made weekly following each session.
The first two sessions
Your first two sessions would form an initial consultation. This would provide you with an opportunity to meet me and have a feel for the style of counselling I offer, so that you can make an informed decision about whether to continue.
It would also provide me with an opportunity to gather some information about you and consider your main concerns. This would enable me to ensure that I am best placed to meet your specific needs.
