This call is for you to tell me about your current situation and to ask me about how I work and what methods I would use to help you. It will give you a sense of what it is like talking with me.

By the end of our 15 minutes you should have a good idea of whether or not you would like to work with me. The call also gives me information on how I can best meet your needs; if I feel I am not the right therapist  for you I will suggest alternatives.

"Trust, empathy, communication and partnership are at the heart of my practice. I want to empower my clients to connect with their inner world so they can process their emotion, regain their energy and be restored to themselves again."

In Psychotherapy I provide a safe and confidential space - outside of your life - where you can bring anything. All my sessions are one hour and can be either in-person or online. In our first conversation we'll talk about what is at play for you and what you want to explore and gain through working together. Some clients want to have brief therapy and come for just one, or a handful of sessions, however since the work we do together is cumulative, many of my clients want to have weekly sessions.  

Psychotherapy works by bringing the unconscious to the conscious so that past events and patterns no longer affect your day-to-day life. Through a bespoke combination of talking, listening and, in some sessions, the integration of Emotional Processing techniques, we will empower you to engage with your unconscious so that you can live your present life unfettered from your past. 

Our thinking brains are very good at creating stories and finding 'rational' explanations - but they can also get things wrong. This is why it is entirely possible to spend time in therapy creating stories about why you are suffering, and yet not be touching the real sources of your distress. People tell me: "I understand why I don't feel well, but I'm not feeling any better!" I want the therapy I deliver to help my clients actually heal and sometimes Emotional Processing is the key. I use techniques such as Integral Eye Movement Therapy - where I guide the client to recreate REM sleep eye movements -  to encourage the client's brain to start processing emotion and moving it to the memory part of the brain (the hippocampus). Once it is there it may not be a good memory, but as a memory it won't be causing you problems in the present. These techniques are gentle and client-led, and yet incredibly powerful at effecting healing. Using Emotional Processing techniques can often be like pushing the log which is blocking everything. I have seen them bring great relief to clients who had suffered with unprocessed emotion for years and I would encourage anyone who is interested to try them.
