THERAPY
I offer face to face and online individual therapy. I deliver face to face therapy in Saltash, Cornwall. Location does not impact online therapy. Clients are asked to complete a client registration form prior to the initial appointment to provide demographic and background information for our records.
Weekly therapy sessions are advised however frequency of these can be agreed according to your preferences and needs.
All therapy clients will receive an initial assessment appointment. This allows for a thorough assessment of the current difficulties, key life events and a history of the problem (when it started etc). It is hoped by the end of this assessment appointment we have a shared understanding of the difficulty which helps to inform the method and length of therapy. It will also support with agreeing tentative goals to work towards helping resolve the issue. The initial appointment will involve establishing the therapeutic contract. You may be asked to complete some standardised therapeutic questionnaires prior to this appointment via email. It may be that this initial consultation is enough for someone to have a better understanding of their difficulty and this is sufficient for them at the current time. There is no obligation to proceed with therapy after this initial assessment appointment.
I am schema therapy trained. Within Schema therapy we explore how childhood experiences may have influenced how we navigate the world in adulthood. Schema therapy aims to identify and modify deeply ingrained unhelpful patterns of thinking and beliefs. These often stem from childhood experiences. We aim to improve emotional well-being and relationships by addressing core emotional needs and challenging maladaptive coping mechanisms.
