I take an "eclectic" approach to my work, meaning that I use a blend of numerous theories depending on the client and their individual needs. I draw from psycho-dynamic approaches such as Emotionally Focus Therapy (EFT), Somatic Theory and Internal Family Systems (IFS).
I also offer Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
Firstly, it is completely normal to feel nervous going into your first session! You can expect to discuss and sign treatment consent forms to ensure that you are protected and educated on confidentiality limitations.
My main goal in this session is to simply get to know one another and start to grasp what it is that brings you into therapy. This is a great space to ask any questions that you have about counselling and also know that there are no expectations regarding what you are "supposed" to share.
Everyone has their own goals in relation to healing. Sessions are geared to be a unique experience molded to what you are needing from this space.
Counselling offers encouragement, security and guidance to help you connect with your most authentic self and heal parts that may have been hurt in the past or are currently experiencing it.
Through counselling, there will be uncomfortable and vulnerable moments while exploring our emotions and experiences. My goal is to work collaboratively with you as you decide the areas and pace of the work that we do together.

It is important to note that 5 minutes of the session is dedicated to booking your next appointment and administration. Therefore clients receive 55 minutes of face to face time for each session.
