HOW MY THERAPY WORKS AND WHAT TO EXPECT
Sessions last one hour and we would usually meet once a week. My job is to listen to everything that an individual brings consciously... whatever troubles or vexed issues they might be... and also to listen to what is being brought into the room UN-consciously. What I mean by this, is that I listen to the unconscious through dreams, symptoms, body language, tone of voice, my own intuition, fate patterns, synchronicities and many other subtle things.
This helps me to build up a picture of WHY a certain problem may have come into someone's life... what the underlying meaning or causes of it may be, and what the purpose of it might be... in terms of finding out what needs to change to improve that person's life. My job is part detective, part mirror, part scientist and part artist, in this respect!
Confidentially is absolutely assured, and emotional safety is of paramount importance, first and foremost. As I build up this picture, I reflect that back to the individual, thus empowering them, bit by bit. I can incorporate basic cognitive and behavioural techniques, along with creative visualisation, dream analysis, art, drama and even music. My job is to listen, hold and reflect back the material that a person brings into the room, thus facilitating expanded self- awareness. This would be called depth psychology.
I always endeavour to work at the pace that is most helpful and appropriate for each individual, and will explore only the areas where the person wishes to go. This kind of work should feel healing, thrilling, uplifting, and even humourous, despite the delicate nature of the material.
PRICES & TIMES
My fees start from £60 for an hours session, and go up to £100 for higher earners. I try to employ a 'Robin Hood' kind of policy, whereby I can charge individuals who have a high wage proportionally (like £70 if you earn £70k, £80 if you earn £80k and so on), thus
enabling me to see individuals earning less for a lower fee.
My sessions last an hour, and I can work from 9.00am through to 8.30pm Monday-Thursday, and from 9.00am-12 noon on Friday. I don't work weekends. For couples I suggest 90 or 120 minute sessions charged pro rata (say both people paying £60 per hour for 90 minutes
totalling £180, and so on).
