I offer a complimentary, no obligation, initial consultation which takes approximately 30 minutes.  This consultation is a calm, private conversation where we figure out what's going on for you and what support would help most so that we can work as a team to achieve your goals.   I believe to achieve the best out of any therapy a client needs to feel comfortable with their therapist and the therapist needs to ascertain whether they are the best 'fit' for the client dependent on their presentation.   

​

​What we will cover:

​

• What you are struggling with right now

• When it started and what makes it worse

• What you've already tried

• What you want instead (your outcome)

• Which therapy will be the best fit for you - BWRT®, Psychotherapy or Hypnotherapy,

• What a sensible plan would look like.

​

What Questions will be asked?

​

I'll ask gentle questions to understand the pattern, such as:

​

• When is it at its worst?

• What have you tried so far?

• What would you like to feel instead?

• If things improved, what would like look like?

• What would tell you this was working?

​

Are you Just going to sell me something?

​

No.  This is a no-pressure conversation.  If I believe I can help, I'll explain your options clearly.  As a therapist I offer you my honesty and respect. If I am not the right person for you I will try to recommend an alternative.​  Either way, you'll leave with clarity about your next step.

​

What happens after the consultation?

​

At the end, you can choose to:

​

• Book your first session

• Take time to think

• Ask for a recommendation elsewhere (if needed)
