I shall ask you about what brings you to therapy at this particular point in time and explore what you would like to achieve through sessions. I shall also take a simple case history. Our initial consultation shall give you a sense of how I work so you can decide if my psychodynamic approach resonates with you. On the rare occasion that I do not feel we are a good fit, I shall refer you to a colleague or local organisation.
We explore how your early experiences and unique unconscious landscape shape your current reality. It is a co-creative process of uncovering what you have outgrown, allowing you to move more freely toward who you want to be.
To build a meaningful therapeutic relationship and attend to the work of psychotherapy, once or twice weekly sessions are standard.
I am qualified to treat clients over 18+ across a wide range of issues, with or without a medical diagnosis. I have many years experience in private practice in Bristol and have treated many international clients so can navigate time zones easily. This is a neuro-inclusive and LGBTQI+ affirming practice and is fully free of judgement.
Separate to my individual psychotherapy work (which falls under the British Psychoanalytic Council) I do a little work with couples. This work is distinct from my individual psychodynamic expertise but builds on it, and draws on Gottman Method Couples Therapy (Level 1 trained). Gottman Method is an evidence-based approach to couples therapy, developed in the US and now used by therapists worldwide. This couples work sits outside my BPC registration. I am fully insured for both branches of my work and have different supervision for this work. I am also currently studying for another MA in Applied Neuroscience (King's College London), which really helps me connect how clients feel with neuroscience. If you have any questions about my qualifications, how I work with couples or individuals, you are very welcome to drop me an email.
My fee is £75 an hour (individuals) and £90 (couples) for a 50 minute session.
For initial Consultations I take pre-payment but for regular sessions I invoice monthly. I accept bank transfer and Stripe payments too.
