How sessions work

In sessions I will listen to your story, uncovering and discovering your thoughts, emotions, feelings and behaviours. Throughout I will reflect back to you, prompt, understand, validate and support you while at the same time giving you psychological insights and tools, so you can start to understand what’s happening in your emotional world. With greater self-awareness and understanding, I will help you rebalance, and gradually, with new insights and increased clarity, you will be able to move towards meaningful change and peace of mind. Most important of all, helping you feel better again.

The therapy process takes you on a journey of emotional understanding and like all journeys it’s not always from A-B. It’s not a linear process and ebbs and flows, moving from the past, to the present and to the future. Sometimes memories will surface that you’ve long forgotten and issues that you thought you had dealt with will float to the surface, or it may be an issue that you’re dealing with that week that you want to discuss and have guidance for.

Whatever you’re going through, I will help you gently unpack it, make sense of it and guide you towards a place of clarity and peace of mind. Please find below some of the tools in my Therapy Toolbox that I might use in a session.
