Counselling and Psychotherapy with Me
My Approach
As my training is integrative, I have studied a range of approaches in counselling and psychotherapy. My approach is Mindfulness based and I particularly draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) - a form of third-wave Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) - along with Gestalt Therapy and Psychosynthesis, and my work is also informed by ideas from Jung and Existential Therapy. I sometimes look at attachment styles and also transactional analysis.
For me as a counsellor and psychotherapist the therapeutic relationship is central and therefore the precise way in which I work is unique to each client, reflecting the principles of Person-Centred Therapy
In addition to dialogue, counselling and psychotherapy with me can also involve mindfulness exercises, experiential work, role plays, two-chair work, creative dream exploration and guided visualisations. Sometimes I may suggest books for you to read. Counselling and psychotherapy are interactive processes in which you benefit most by being an active participant, which is more empowering for you.
Session frequency and length
Normally sessions are weekly, but it depends on you. The usual session length is 50 minutes. I offer both short-term and long-term, open-ended counselling and psychotherapy.
Confidentiality and your data
Fees & cancellation policy
The normal fee for a 50-minute session is £60. In some situations concessions may be available.
If you are going to be on holiday or in case of cancellation I ask for at least 48 hours advance, otherwise fees are payable. You are not expected to pay in case of me cancelling a session or in exceptional circumstances such as a national emergency.
Locations
I see clients at venues in central London, Redhill and Reigate.
As well as this, I offer telephone and online counselling and psychotherapy.
