Psychological support

I am a psychologist trained in a variety of talk therapy methods for working with individuals, families and groups, such as cognitive behavioural therapy, family therapy, systemic therapy, couples therapy. I use different therapy methods according to what a person or group of people need. 

I always start with an assessment of your challenges where we identify and choose what to work on together. In our journey I may use different therapy methods to support you, and we may invite others from your life to join the therapy sessions if relevant, and always in agreement.

The first session

Finding the right therapist is not always easy. A good personal fit between the client(s) and the therapist is important. For this reason, the first session is always a little longer. This gives you a chance to meet me and get a sense of whether we are a good fit for the work needed to help you. 

In the first session, I would like to hear a little about what you are going through and what is happening in your life, why you have reached out for help and what changes you would like to happen. This also gives me the chance to evaluate if I think I can help you. If I do not think I am the best person to help you, I will do everything I can to refer you for help with someone else in my wide network.

If you choose not to continue with me after our first session, you don't owe me any explanation at all. If you do choose to continue, I highly recommend you commit to at least 6, preferably 12, sessions with me, for us to create lasting healthy changes.
