What are the first steps to take?
Get in contact with me via the link button above. We can arrange a free 15 minute consultation to discuss your needs and how I can help. You may want to ask questions about the types of therapies that I offer. Alternatively you can book an appointment with me.
What does an EMDR session look like?
EMDR sessions can be different from other talking therapies. We can focus on a difficult memory or experience and use what is called bilateral stimulation to help process this experience. This can be through eye movements or through "tapping" and it can be face to face or online. With EMDR there can be less talking than with other therapies and it is more about the emotional and physical responses.
How often will therapy be?
Therapy is often weekly and usually at the same time each work. I do offer some fortnightly appointments but you will need to get in contact with me about these appointment slots.
What will we cover in the first sessions?
The first session will be a brief discussion of the therapy agreement and us discussing what has brought you to therapy and how I can help with those issues. I will be gathering some history of the problem to help guide me in treatment. This will be at your pace if this at your pace if this is overwhelming for you. We can agree some goals for what you would like to change or be different.
How long will therapy take?
Depending on the issues you are coming to me for and also your financial situation, therapy can be anywhere from between 6 sessions to over a year for long term Schema Therapy.
How do I pay for sessions?
Payment is by bank transfer and is made in advance of the appointment.
