We are all different, on different journeys. Weekly or fortnightly appointments establish consistency which I believe is essential to create the sort of environment that respects the nature of the therapeutic journey.

For some clients one or two sessions will feel enough; for others, longer-term work might feel more appropriate.

We will talk about this when we meet.

Yes, I can offer in-person evening and Saturday appointments.

I am person centred and use an integration of different approaches to help you, my approach is often tailored to what you need.

Sometimes it may not be possible for both partners to attend therapy together. If that is the case, we can consider whether it may be helpful for one partner to attend without the other. We can also discuss your situation and think together about what would be helpful going forward.

If you would like to attend on your own, we keep the relationship in mind throughout the work. This can help gain a better understanding of difficult dynamics between you and your partner while also developing more insight into your own role in the relationship.

No, you don't - there is no homework. But you may find it useful to think about your situation and how you want counselling or therapy to help, whether you are coming on your own or with a partner.

I have been asked this and the answer is that it depends how motivated and willing you both are to work through the issues and look at why you react or behave in the way you do. Couples counselling will be successful in the way it provides a safe space and I offer empathy and non-judgement to you both to understand how the relationship can work better.
