Counselling & Psychotherapy
The basic principles of my work are humanistic.
I aim to provide a safe and non judgemental place where you can explore any issues that are impacting on your life. This is an approach which tries to do justice to the whole person, including mind body and spirit. As a humanistic Psychotherapist I recognize our self healing ability and I believe the greatest expert on the client is the client, therefore I work for an authentic meeting of equals in the therapy relationship.
What to expect
Psychotherapy can have benefits and risks. Since therapy often involves discussing unpleasant aspects of your life, you may experiences uncomfortable feelings like sadness, guilt, anger, frustration, loneliness and helplessness. On the other hand, psychotherapy has also been shown to lead to better relationships, solutions to specific problems, and significant reductions in feelings of distress. But there are no guarantees of what you will experience.
METHODS
Some of the methods I may use in this type of Psychotherapy are:
- LISTENING
- TALKING
- INTERPRETATION
- VISUALIZATION
- WORK WITH IMAGES & DREAMS
- PSYCHICAL & EMOTIONAL EXPRESSION WORK
- BIODYNAMIC MASSAGE
- RELAXATION TECHNIQUES
- WORK WITH TRAUMA & RECOVERY
- WORK WITH REGRESSION
Appointments
Appointments will ordinarily be one hour in duration, once per week at a time we agree on, although some sessions may be more or less frequent as needed. The time scheduled for your appointment is assigned to you and you alone.
If you need to cancel or reschedule a session, I ask that you provide me with 24 hours notice. If you miss a session without cancelling, or cancel with less than 24 hour notice, my policy is to collect the amount of your co-payment unless we both agree that you were unable to attend due to circumstances beyond your control.
Duration of the therapeutic process.
Some people have specific issues on which they want to work and a short term contract is appropriate. Others have a more general area of concern which can more appropriately be worked with on a longer time scale.
The length of contract can be discussed at the start of working together. It can be added to and reviewed during the work
Confidentiality
I keep any information you may give me confidential except with your agreement or in exceptional cases of emergency or as listed in the code of ethics and I would speak to you about it first.
