My Approach
The Therapeutic Process
I offer prospective clients a psychological assessment. This allows the development and understanding of your experiences, whilst giving us the opportunity of considering whether we wish to work together. It is important that you feel comfortable with your therapist. We would then agree upon an approximate amount of sessions. There is no obligation for you to attend these sessions.
