I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation before we begin our therapeutic work together. This brief call gives you a chance to discuss what's bringing you to therapy and ask any questions you might have. It could also allow for us to get a sense of whether we would be a good fit for working together. I could briefly explain the overall process and how I might be able to support you. This initial conversation is informal and carries no obligation to proceed with the therapy.
Psychotherapy offers a pathway for psychological growth and change, taking place within a secure, confidential setting. Sessions occur at regular weekly intervals, establishing a reliable space where therapeutic work can evolve naturally, responding to each client's individual needs and capacity for change.
The integrative approach to psychotherapy combines various therapeutic tools and methods to create an individually-tailored treatment plan. Drawing from evidence-based approaches, including psychodynamic, humanistic, and cognitive-behavioural techniques, this method allows for a therapeutic experience that adapts to meet your specific needs and goals. The flexibility of integrative therapy ensures the work can evolve alongside your progress and changing requirements.
At the core of this integrative framework lies relational therapy, recognising that meaningful change and personal growth occur within the context of relationships. This approach places the therapeutic relationship at the centre of the work, creating a secure, empathetic, and non-judgmental environment for exploration and development. Through this collaborative therapeutic relationship, clients can safely explore their experiences, feelings, and patterns of relating. The insights gained often extend beyond the therapy room, supporting the development of more fulfilling relationships in other areas of life.
Within my integrative framework, both short-term and long-term approaches are available, depending on your personal circumstances and goals.
Short-term psychotherapy provides a more structured framework, addressing specific challenges or particular areas of difficulty. This focused approach develops practical insights and strategies for managing present-day concerns, proving particularly effective when working with clearly defined issues or during specific life transitions.
Long-term psychotherapy allows for deeper exploration and lasting transformation. Through this approach, clients gain the opportunity to examine recurring patterns, complex emotional difficulties, and the influence of past experiences on present circumstances. The sustained therapeutic work facilitates greater self-understanding, revealing underlying relationship patterns and supporting fundamental personal growth.
