HOW IT WORKS

Therapy Process

Building a relationship with your therapist

Together we will build a trusting therapeutic relationship, enabling the provision of a non-judgemental, confidential and safe space for us to collaboratively explore.

Difficulties are collaboratively identified, sensitively unraveled and proactively managed

You will gain an understanding of your psychological struggles connected to your motivation, emotion and behaviour, leading to a greater place of personal compassion and healing.

Setting your goals and achieving them

You will gain an awareness of psychoeducation, self-compassion and develop the necessary psychological tools. This will enable you to feel empowered, make effective changes and achieve your goals.

You are not alone...

FAQs

Where do the sessions take place?
The sessions can be online, or face to face. Face to face sessions take place in a private clinical room based in Guildford (GU2 9JX) or alternatively within the surrey hills (GU5 9DN).

What is the cost of the sessions?

An initial consultation is free, for it is incredibly important to find a therapist that you connect and feel comfortable with.

The initial assessment would be £80 (as it takes over an hour to complete)

The following cost per session is £70 (50 minutes)

You would be under no obligation at any time to book further sessions.

What can I expect from the counselling and psychotherapy process?

The therapeutic relationship is unique. It is a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space, separate from anything or anyone in your life, where you are able to purely focus and reflect on yourself and your psychological needs. It is a gentle but powerful process of collaborative exploration, where your difficulties are identified, unravelled, sensitively made sense of and proactively managed in order for you to achieve your goals.

At a pace that is guided by you, I will be alongside you, with every step that you take. It may be that your needs are self-exploration, leading to a greater place of personal compassion and healing. Or gaining an understanding of your psychological struggles connected to your motivation, emotion and behaviour, and developing the necessary tools to make effective changes.

It always astounds me, that with the therapeutic foundation of compassion, psychoeducation, safety, validation, instilled belief and utilising the skills that you have learnt. You have the capacity to positively heal, reduce your suffering and transform your life.

What is the process from finding the right therapist to commencing therapy?

Research highlights the significance of the therapeutic relationship and its’ role in promoting healing. Therefore, it is paramount that you find someone who you connect with, that enables you to feel a sense of safety. Consequently, all prospective clients are offered a 20 minutes free consultation. This is an opportunity for us to get to know each other a little, to see if I am the ‘right fit’ for you and for me to understand your difficulties and reasons for seeking therapy. If you wanted to proceed, we would then book an initial assessment, and the therapeutic process would then begin.
