What to expect from psychological therapy?
I will help you view yourself as a whole, getting to know in what way you relate to yourself, your emotions, bodily reactions, and those around you. We will unpick the core messages that loudly or quietly you tell yourself about your potential for change. We will try and locate when and where these messages originated and most importantly, how have they managed to stay alive. Lastly, I will help you draw a plan to challenge these patterns, positively shifting your self-esteem and relationships.
What to expect from our first meeting?
I provide psychological therapy via video-conference, or via telephone. Remote psychological therapy has been shown to be as effective as in-person.
We will meet for 50 minutes during which we will address the reason why you are seeking therapy, any ambivalence to engage, and expectations. You will have the opportunity to ask questions related to my expertise and together, we can assess if I am the right person to support you.
What to expected from gender-related consultations?
I work collaboratively with clients wishing to embark in the transition process. I understand that it can be emotional, challenging, and often frustrating to navigate the system. For this reason, I aim to hold your hand while we make sense of your experience of gender-diversity and dysphoria. I take a person-centered and compassionate approach to the delivery of assessments and support.
