What to expect
This is your time. I’m here to walk alongside you with empathy and care every step of the way. Together we’ll explore what you need to feel supported, bringing awareness to your inner resources and strengths to foster healing and growth.
Using an integrative approach to therapy, my deeply relational practice is about honouring who you are. By combining therapeutic techniques, I will create a tailored experience to help get you from where you are, to where you want to be in a safe, supportive and compassionate space.
Counselling & Psychotherapy
Reaching out for help can feel scary (I get it, I’ve been there), so I offer a free 15 minute phone call to answer any questions you might have.
If you decide that I might be a good fit for you, we will arrange and agree on a suitable day and time for weekly sessions.
Our first session will look a little bit different to those that follow as it will start with a short assessment to help me understand a bit more about you and your current situation including why you have decided to reach out for therapy at this time. During this first session, we will also discuss the therapeutic contract including areas such as confidentiality.
I encourage one session per week in order to gain momentum to promote healing, which can then be reviewed together after around 10 sessions and rearranged to once every 2 weeks according to your preference and my availability at the time.
I offer a 50 minute session with an open ended approach to therapy, meaning you are not limited (to date for example, I have worked with clients from between 8 - 80 sessions over 3 months to 2 years). We will however ‘check in’ every 6 sessions to review and ensure we are working towards achieving your goals whilst assessing and accommodating any changes.
Therapy sessions take place either face to face in my therapy room in East Belfast or online via Zoom. I work weekday mornings from 9:30am- 1:30pm Tuesday - Friday, and evenings from 6:45pm Monday - Wednesday. Individual morning sessions cost £45 and evening sessions cost £50. I also offer a limited number of reduced rate places for carers or those on a lower income.
