 what the Initial conversation is like?
Takes around 20 minutes long I can get to know you and answer any questions you may have also to introduce myself, how I work and see if I am the right therapist for you.
What my sessions are like?
People often ask me what my sessions look like and if I verbalise my thoughts in the sessions or just sit in silence nodding, if you are wondering this as well the answer is: Yes! I will be honest, reflective, open and curious in our work.
As I am a creative person In my sessions we can use a range of techniques such as grounding, mindfulness, breathing exercises, psychoeducation, and solution focus exercises (CBT), with my younger clients we can play games, do some role play, drawing, crafts, use blobs/ feelings cards, sand tray, videos or music; etc as long as you are comfortable to use them, as the base of my work is a client -centred - I strongly believe that You know what is best for you even if right now you do not feel that you do.
