What can I expect from therapy?
What sessions may look like
We begin with what feels most important to you
You don’t need to have everything worked out. We can start with what is affecting you right now, what you would like help with and what you hope might become different.
We make sense of what is happening
We can notice patterns in the thoughts, feelings, body, relationships.
Some sessions are mainly conversational, and where it feels helpful we may use grounding, imagery, parts-informed exploration and/or hypnotherapy. Nothing is forced, you are in full control and I mould the therapy to you rather than the other way round.
We use approaches that fit you
We only go further inward when it feels appropriate with your consent - think of it like peeling back an onion. You remain in control throughout, and I make sure you have enough time to regulate emotionally before you return to your day.
We go carefully
The aim is not to become a different person. It is to become more able to meet yourself honestly and respond rather than react, and live with more choice and more freedom.
“Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant.”
