A Clear, Collaborative Process
Therapy is a journey we undertake together. From our first conversation to our ongoing work, my aim is to provide a transparent, supportive, and professional framework where healing and growth can happen.
The First Step: A Free Initial Conversation
Before beginning any therapeutic work, I believe it is essential to have an initial discussion. This free, no-obligation phone call is a chance for you to share what has brought you to seek therapy, for me to understand it in the context of your life, and for us both to see if we feel we could work well together. It's the foundation for a trusting and effective therapeutic relationship.
Our Collaborative Framework
If we decide to start therapy, we will agree on a clear working framework to ensure safety and clarity. This includes our commitment to confidentiality, how we can contact each other outside of sessions, session timing, fees, and cancellation procedures. I view therapy as an ongoing, collaborative process. In open-ended work, we will regularly check in together: How is the process feeling? Are we moving towards your goals? This ensures our work remains aligned with your evolving needs.
- Confidential & Safe Space
- Clear Agreements on Practicalities
- Regular Collaborative Review
The Heart of the Work: Transformation
Above all, therapy is a transformative process. It is a journey from a place that may feel constrained by pain, anxiety, or sadness, towards a life where you can find greater meaning, purpose, and resilience. My role is to offer professional guidance and a supportive relationship as you navigate this path of understanding and change.
