Information for clients

Integrative psychotherapy means using more than one model of therapy. For example, I use the psychodynamic model, which explores how the past influences the present. Person Centred, which is about staying present and exploring what’s happening in the here and now, and cognitive behavioral therapy, which can provide a toolkit of techniques to look at thoughts, feelings and behaviors, and work to challenge and change them for the better. 

I believe people are complex, and everyone needs something different. This is why I practice integrative. This means, we can look at the presenting issue, and see what modality would work best for you, and work throughout our sessions together to blend them our work, to provide the best outcome for you. 

All payments can be made via bank transfer which will be provided in an email after the free consultation. All payments are required 24 hours before the start of the session. If you need to cancel the session, I ask for at least 48 hours notice. Any sessions cancelled within 24 hours will be charged. I consider our meetings very important and make them a priority over other activities, and I ask you to do the same. An appointment is a commitment to our work. A cancelled appointment slows our progress, so please try not to miss sessions if you can possibly help it. Your session time is reserved for you.

Before we start work together, I will send you my counsellor/client contract, which I will ask you to sign and return, or confirm that you have read and understood the contract via email.  

I use measurement systems called psychometrics. These help me monitor our progress throughout the sessions, we will discuss these during our first session. If you decide you do not like to complete these measurements, we can stop these at any times. All the data I use to benefit our work together. At the end of our sessions, I will send you all the data over, as I have found that some clients like to see their progress throughout our time together. 

I will give you as much notice as possible if I have planned leave, or I am unable to deliver a session. If this was to happen,  we will work to reschedule the session to suit you.
