What do you love most about your job?
Seeing a client cut free from the barriers that they feel hold them back. When a client says that they are feeling in a better place...happiest feeling in the world!
What inspired you to start your own business?
To be able to offer individuals, couples and parents of young people quicker, flexible and therapy that they want rather than sitting on a waiting list for 12 mths. I couldn't work with the red tape of reports, assessments and outcomes anymore! Now it's just me and my client working through the stuff that matters.
Why should our clients choose you?
I'm down to earth, informal and will use whatever type of therapy that will work best for you. Maybe a more directive approach of setting tasks and goals works well for you, maybe talking things through without direction suits better. It maybe that we use drawings, photos, and creative tools to access deeper trauma. Please be assured that I am trained and experienced to work in whichever ways we feel most comfortable in ?
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes I can work via zoom or telephone. This can be a really convenient way to access therapy without the worry of traffic and travelling.
Face to face is available at all times.
We may mix and match if that's what works for you.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
Socially distanced in the room, hand sanitizer and deep cleaning between clients.
Masks can now be optional during face to face (from 19th July 2021)
