Individual therapy

Working creatively in therapy aims to finding ways to define and make sense of the emotions that we struggle to understand and express verbally. It offers a way to bring to the surface the emotions and experiences that are sometimes forgotten, but are still stored in the mind and body, and are affecting our present lives. Using creativity in the session is always negotiated with the client as it is not something that is right for all people and therefore there is always the option not to work in this way.

Psychotherapy involves commitment, of time, energy and money. Before we make this commitment, it is important to meet for an “assessment session”. During this session you will get a chance to get a sense of whether you wish to go further, and I can explore with you what you are struggling with and what kind of changes you are hoping for.

We can discuss whether to engage in a time-limited or short-term piece of work or whether to embark on an open-ended or long-term journey of psychotherapy.

Clients are welcome to come for a first assessment, at a reduced rate, to discuss what concerns bring them to therapy and how we might work together. They are then free to decide if they wish to proceed with therapy.

Couples therapy

Whether you are seeking to revitalise or deepen your relationship, or whether you are facing a conflict or crisis situation I offer a creative approach to help you address your patterns of being together.

Couples sessions are usually longer than those for one to one psychotherapy, typically 75 minutes. 

The frequency of sessions is by negotiation.

Couples therapy can help you both to:

• See the relationship in a more objective way
• Improve the way you interact with each other
• Express your emotions and thoughts
• Communicate with each other more effectively
• Recognise the strengths in your relationship

Clients are welcome to come for a first assessment, at a reduced rate, to discuss what concerns bring them to therapy and how we might work together. They are then free to decide if they wish to proceed with therapy.
