Sessions

Whether you are interested in Therapy with me, Nature therapy, or Yoga Psychotherapy, the therapeutic relationship is vital for effective therapy. I therefore offer a free, no obligation 15-minute consultation via telephone or video. In this consultation we will 1) explore the difficulties you are experiencing, 2) provide space for any questions you have for me. Therapy is most effective when you find the right therapist for you, this is an opportunity for us both to explore whether working together is the right next step. If I don’t think I’m the right therapist for you, or have the right therapeutic approach for you, I’ll point you in a direction that may be better.

Following this, if you would like to work together, we’ll book in an initial assessment session. In this session, In this session: 

1) I will ask you a number of questions to better understand how anxiety/other difficulties are impacting you and how they developed.

2) We will explore what you want the focus of your therapy to be, what you want to get out of therapy. 

3) We will formulate a bespoke plan to decide on why of my therapeutic approaches feel most appropriate for you. 

There is no pressure to share everything immediately; we will work at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

Where are sessions held?

Sessions are available:

  • Online through a secure video platform

  • Over the phone (including remote nature therapy)

  • Face to face in Macclesfield (limited number of sessions available on a Thursday afternoon/evening)

  • Nature therapy at Alderley Edge National Park (limited number of sessions available on a Friday morning)

Sessions typically last 50 mins and can be short-term (around 6 weeks) or longer term (20+weeks), depending on your goals. Sessions are mostly held weekly (in line with NICE guidelines). My goal for you is to get to the point where you feel you no longer need therapy for your anxiety, where you can implement learnings outside of our sessions, and essentially become your own therapist.

Availability

Availability is limited to keep caseload low. This makes sure I’m fully present for each individual client. I am currently operating a waiting list. Please get in touch if you would like to be added to the waiting list, I will then update you when an appointment becomes available. Therapy appointments are booked on a first come first serve basis and require payment to be confirmed.

I recognise that it can be hard to find the right therapist. This can lead us to trailing through the internet, searching for information, questioning if the advice given by a therapist is reputable. And what to believe when there is lots of conflicting information. If you have questions, you can ask me. I’ll aim to get back to you within 3 working days.
