Chrysalis Health and Wellbeing

The industry doesn't really cater to newbies and I always knew I would set up my own practice one day. I knew that a lot of people are not feeling better following mainstream therapy practices so I wanted to work outside of the clinical/pathologising/medical model and deliver clients the tools and modalities that actually create change within them (so long as they are prepared to put in the work).

I am deeply empathic and caring. Clients feel safe with me and I'm able to build rapport quickly in the first session (or get a sense of it if we have an initial intro phone chat). I work at my clients' pace. I don't follow a script - it's an intuitive and moment-by-moment process. People have sometimes had poor experiences with counselling before so I help them to put their mind at ease.

I can do phone consults, but much prefer to work on Zoom for remote sessions. I need to be able to see body language and micro expressions. Especially with trauma work.

I work in a big air-conditioned room so keeping adequate distance is not a problem. I have a request that clients reschedule their appointment if they are not feeling well.
