Frequently Asked Questions

I offer person-centred therapy and low-intensity cognitive behavioural therapy. This can be offered as a blended approach or person-centred, dependent on your needs as a client which will be discussed during the initial consultation.

Person-centred therapy (PCT) is all about creating a non-judgemental, empathic, and genuine environment using the core conditions being empathy, unconditional-positive regard, and congruence. The therapist helps facilitate the client’s experience in exploring their thoughts and feelings and bringing this into their awareness to encourage therapeutic change, growth, and self-discovery. PCT centers the client, allowing them to lead their sessions to discover their own solutions.

Low-intensity Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (LI-CBT) offers a structured and goal-oriented approach that focuses on identifying and challenging the negative thought patterns and behaviours the client may be experiencing. The therapist supports and collaborates with the client through techniques and strategies to help aid healthier patterns of thoughts and behaviour to reduce psychological distress. This approach is tailored to those with mild to moderate mental health challenges.

I offer a free 15 minutes initial consultation where we will discuss your concerns, goals, expectations, and evaluate whether we are a good fit to help support your needs.

Initial Consultations can be booked via our website here.

I can reschedule free of charge should you adhere to the notice period. However, if you were to cancel within the 24 hours’ notice period, payment for the session will be expected.
