Why Therapy?
Your reasons for seeking therapy may be clear, it could be that you've experienced a bereavement and would like help to process that. On the other hand you may feel less sure about the source of the problem but you sense that life could just feel better. Either way developing curiosity and understanding yourself better can make life feel more peaceful.
Topics often brought to therapy:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Identity
- Work Stress
- Trauma
- Relationships
- Bullying
- Confidence
- Anger
- Bereavement
This is by no means an exhaustive list and everyone will have completely unique experiences, even if the label is the same. Once we're in touch we can discuss the specifics of what you're hoping to get help with.
Getting Started
If we choose to work together after our initial consultation I'll ask you commit to four sessions. This will give us enough time to understand whether we're a good fit. In these sessions we'll begin to explore your experiences and discover what feels important to work on.
Going Forward
My approach is to use different therapeutic models, with a grounding in Transactional Analysis. No two people are the same, so together we will create a unique relationship and process that works for you. The frequency of sessions and amount of time we work together is flexible.
Endings
When you're ready to finish therapy it's useful to spend some time consolidating our work together. We can decide on the number of ending sessions when that time comes.
Where We Meet
I'm often asked whether online therapy is as effective as meeting in person. My answer is always: it depends on what works best for you.
Online (Zoom) *
For many people, the convenience of a session at home is a big plus. I've worked with clients who actually find it easier to open up and relax in their own surroundings, particularly neurodivergent clients who need a specific, familiar environment to feel safe and comfortable.If you decide to meet with me online, the setup is simple. You just need a private space where you won't be interrupted and a reliable internet connection. I'll send a Zoom link directly to your email ahead of time and you don't need a paid account to join.
In Person (Congleton, Cheshire) *
If you prefer to meet in person, you're very welcome at my therapy room.It's a comfortable, private space with convenient on-site parking and toilet facilities. I also have a selection of tea, coffee, and cold drinks to offer when you arrive.
*If you'd like a blend of both online and in-person sessions, I'm happy to offer a flexible approach that combines both to fit your routine.
