This depends on your therapy goals and how long you would like to come. Some clients work with a set number of sessions, and we set realistic goals within them. Other clients work open ended until they feel their therapy goals have been met.

Ideally sessions should be weekly. This is because at first it can take time to gain some stability and a week can sometimes feel a long time in between processing. Sometimes this isn’t financially viable or possible with schedules and therefore some clients choose bi-weekly. Any longer than this the work can be too fragmented and can be difficult to get any therapy depth as the sessions can tend to be more of a catch up.

There are so many different types of therapy it can be overwhelming trying to look.

Some therapists specialise in one type of therapy.

I am integrative which means I am trained and practiced in different types of therapy. Mine including Person centred, Psychodynamic, Trauma informed, Somatic, Attachment.

You don’t need to worry so much about my specialism as I will adapt my style of working to meet your needs.

This type of therapy explores what is going on in the body. They can call this a body up approach where your body is communicating a sensation and it is explored to help release stuck emotions. Normally once the energy that is thwarted is released a mental clarification can come next. This works well with trauma or people who cant cognitively work out the reasons for their distress.

Sometimes we can talk through trauma and it still doesn’t process or get better, in this case somatic work can get deeper into what may have been stored.

Sometimes the mind disconnects from the body because the body was not a safe place. This is about repairing that body and mind relationship to find a sense of safety in the body and freedom.

No, im an intergrative counsellor which means i adapt my way of working for what feels right for you.

If you wish to do just talking therapies we can. Everything is always an invitation, you will not be made to do anything.

Having a goal you would like to get out of therapy is important but that can be discussed together on an initial session. Sometimes clients like to make notes in the week of things they may want to talk about, but nothing is expected or required.
