Services

I offer sessions online for those across the UK and in-person in Bournemouth/Poole for both adults and children, who are looking for a therapist who can deliver both person-centred and evidence-based therapy.

 

When you first make contact, I will offer a free no-obligation 15-minute phone consultation so we can discuss a bit about how sessions work, get to know one another and briefly discuss the challenges you are currently facing. I encourage potential clients to use this time to help decide whether we will be right for one another, as therapy is both a big commitment and step, so deciding a good fit is key!

​

We will begin with a detailed assessment of your presenting difficulties. We will then work at your pace to build a collaborative formulation of your struggles - what may have led to them and patterns that may be keeping them going.  The formulation not only helps to clarify the routes of your difficulties but will also inform the process of the onward therapeutic journey. Alongside this process we will establish the goals you have for our work, to help keep us focused on the direction of travel and measure therapy progress.

 

I have been trained and I am experienced in working with different presentations/struggles, using a wide range of evidence-based psychological therapies designed to help individuals overcome the difficulties in their lives.  Different therapeutic models will be used depending on what your formulation suggests is indicated, and together with a strong therapeutic alliance, will provide the basis of change and progression.

 

Often clients have between 10-20 sessions, although the length of therapy can vary (some may need less and some may need more). We will have regular reviews to check we are on track with our goals and that you are finding sessions helpful.
