Integrative Counselling in Bexleyheath and Online
Initial Consultation
I offer a free initial phone call, typically lasting 15-20 minutes. This call is an opportunity for us to get to know each other a little better and to see if we're a good fit. During our conversation, you can share what brings you to counselling and what you hope to achieve. I'm also happy to answer any questions you might have about how I work, therapy in general, or what to expect in our sessions
This initial call carries no obligation - my goal is to make you feel at ease in making an informed decision about your next steps.
First Session
Our first session together is about laying the groundwork for our therapeutic relationship. We'll go through practical matters like the counselling contract and policies, ensuring you understand how we'll work together. This includes discussing confidentiality, session timing, and what you can expect from our time together. It's also an opportunity for you to share more about what's brought you to counselling and what you'd like to achieve.
My Approach
As an integrative counsellor, I draw on different types of therapy to help you in your current situation. My approach combines:
Person-centred counselling - focusing on your unique experiences and perspective
Psychodynamic therapy - exploring how past experiences may be shaping your current feelings and behaviours
Together we can work to understand the challenges you face whilst uncovering how past experiences may be influencing your present. I offer a chance for you to reflect on your difficulties in a non-judgmental, safe, and confidential environment.
How I Work
I currently offer all sessions online via Google Meet. Online counselling has several benefits:
Think of our online sessions as a safe harbour in life's stormy seas - a place where you can pause and reflect without judgment, explore your thoughts and feelings freely, and discover new perspectives and possibilities. Through our collaborative journey, we'll create a space where your story matters and every emotion is valid.
