What can I expect?

A space to be yourself

You may know exactly what brings you to counselling, or you may simply feel that something isn’t right. Perhaps you’re anxious, struggling in a relationship or tired of saying “I’m fine” when you’re not.

You don’t need the right words or a clear plan before we begin. I’ll listen without judging, and we can take time to explore whatever feels important to you. There’s no pressure to share everything straight away.

How we’ll work together

Together, we can make sense of what’s happening now and explore how past experiences might be affecting your feelings, relationships and choices.

I’ll help you recognise patterns, understand your needs and find ways of responding that work better for you. Sometimes that means talking things through; sometimes it means trying practical tools or looking at things from a different perspective.

I’m an integrative psychotherapist, which means I draw on different counselling approaches and adapt our work to you. You don’t need to choose a particular method—we can work out together what feels helpful.

People of all faiths and none are welcome. If you would like to include your Christian faith in our conversations, we can do that too.

At the beginning, we’ll discuss what you hope to get from counselling, how sessions work, and confidentiality and its limits. You’re welcome to ask questions or tell me if something isn’t helping.

Getting started

Finding someone you feel comfortable with really matters. I offer a free 30-minute introductory conversation, giving you the chance to meet me, ask questions and talk about what you’re looking for.

There’s no obligation to continue. It’s simply an opportunity to see whether working together feels right for you.
