Working together:
A complimentary 10 minute telephone call is available, if required, for you to ask questions and decide if this is the most helpful service for you.
An assessment session of up to 75 minutes will provide time to understand your situation and give an initial idea of the number of therapy sessions.
The therapy sessions will be provided online (remote video call), last up to 50 minutes and will be weekly in the first instance.
Exercises and information are provided for you to use in between the sessions, so you can practice strategies during the week.
Monitoring outcomes and reviewing our work together will be built in to the sessions on a regular basis.
I will also ask you for your feedback on your experience of the sessions, so we can discuss and review the treatment goals and our work together.
It may be helpful to liaise with your GP or other professionals that you are working with. We will discuss this together, seeking your permission before information sharing.
In line with professional standards I undertake regular clinical supervision with a Clinical Psychologist, as well as continuing professional development to ensure my practice is up to date.
My clinic times are currently : Monday and Thursdays 9-3.30 pm. I have limited availability on a weekday evening.
