Type of therapeutic approach

Enabling you the opportunity to explore what is important to you in a safe and confidential space. 

Working with a Relational Integrative approach means I am informed by a range of different therapeutic research and tools. The three main approaches involved are Person Centred, Psychodynamic and CBT. Below is an indication of how each approach might show up in each session, whilst understanding we are all unique and they may appear in different forms for each of us. 

The Person Centred approach keeps you at the centre of the sessions ensuring they focus on what is important to you as an individual. The Psychodynamic lens enables us to create an understanding of how your experiences throughout your life have impacted your patterns of relating, attachment to others and yourself. We draw upon CBT techniques to assist with understanding the impact on day to day life, through journalling and through records. These theories all used together in a relational way can enable us to use the therapeutic relationship to further your understanding of yourself.  

If we decide to proceed I will send across a Client Agreement, Confidentiality Statement and Key Information Form. These will need to be signed and returned before the start of our first session. 

The first session will be mostly getting to know your reason for coming in more detail and laying the foundations for working in a safe space. I will ask you some questions about yourself and your lifestyle in an exploratory way to further understand your frame of reference. Future sessions will then take place at the same time each week either in person or on Zoom. 

In person sessions are available in Guildford or Godalming, Surrey. I work flexibly across weekday evenings, Wednesday afternoons and Saturday mornings.

 
Each session will last 50 minutes and will cost £65.

Any cancellations with less than 24 hours’ notice will be chargeable at the full rate. 

I am bound by the BACP Ethical Frame work. Therefore, in line with this all sessions are confidential within the limits of safeguarding. I also attend regular supervision with a qualified practitioner.
