If you are interested in starting therapy, once you have contacted me, I will send you across a thorough questionnaire so that our first session can be used to the full to explore this, your challenges, what is currently working for you or not working for you and we can also set a few goals to be working towards as this makes sure we are always heading in the right direction for you.
During our first session, you will be welcomed into a caring environment where we can begin to break down your struggles and we can see the best way forward for support. I offer fresh filtered water, herbal teas and coffee.
What I offer
I like to start our journey with a phone call, if you wish, to discuss what your struggles are, how long you have been suffering or experiencing them, anything you have tried and tell you a little about my history and who I am. This is a good way to start developing our relationship and learn a little about each other so that you can decide if this is for you. Please book this in by getting my details from the contact page and contacting me via phone, email or instagram.
I aim to respond within 48 hours of your enquiry Mon – Fri. I am fairly flexible in response.
Life can be hectic. You are probably only free at certain times. I offer flexible hours and try to suit your needs. Including occasional offers of weekend appointments. I have a client base already but always try to see when you are available and work around that. I do occasional Saturday and Sunday appointments and also more flexible if we are having an online session.
If I am seeing you in person, there is great bus links to my practise from Newcastle and Wallsend. I also offer free parking right near my practise. My practise is also based in a very private area. Setting up my private practise meant I could cater for you as my client. I understand parking is crucial as is transport links. I also was able to create a lovely space for you to feel welcomed and comfortable.
I offer a thorough intake session. This allows me to understand all your concerns before we have our first session. This also means we are not wasting any time in your first session going over all the details. I will have them already. This is including history and background where we will work together to plan goals and intervention options. I send out a questionnaire to see where you are in your journey. Of course you do not have to fill this in. If you would like to just come along to your first session then this is also fine. This is for you an to help with treatment plans and psychological healing.
You will find a private and confidential space to ensure your privacy, that’s a relaxing and calming place where you can share your challenges. This is your time and I am here for you. I offer a confidential space for you to open up about all your concerns and struggles. I will use all this information to formulate a plan to get you to where you want to be.
