The following may help you get a sense of whether my approach and availability are a good fit for you
I typically maintain a waiting list. If you are seeking immediate support, I may not be the best option at this time.
I work part-time in private practice and do not offer evening or after-hours appointments. My schedule is relatively fixed, and I'm generally unable to vary appointment times from fortnight to fortnight. If you require more flexibility, another therapist may be better suited.
I work in both short-term and longer-term formats. At times, it may take a little while for us to clarify the most helpful focus in therapy. I approach this collaboratively and transparently, and I welcome ongoing feedback about what is and isn’t working.
In most cases, I work with people on an ongoing basis until their therapy goals have been meaningfully addressed. For some, this occurs in a brief period. For others, where difficulties are more complex, more time is needed. In some situations, structured blocks of therapy with breaks in between can be helpful.
If you have any questions about my background, training, or approach - or anything else that feels important to you, you are very welcome to get in touch.
I will ask you about the difficulties that have led you to seek therapy, with a particular focus on the emotional aspects of what you have been experiencing. My aim is to:
The pace and intensity of therapy will be tailored to your individual preference and ability to tolerate and handle difficult emotions.
The first few sessions allow me an opportunity to get to understand the types of problems you have been facing that have brought you to therapy and also allows you to see if my approach is the right fit for you.
The focus of ongoing sessions is guided by you. My role is to help you work toward your goals, address the emotional difficulties you’ve been facing, and identify recurring patterns that may be limiting progress.
Regular sessions are important for maintaining momentum and achieving meaningful change. Where possible, I offer a consistent weekly or fortnightly appointment time, allowing therapy to be prioritised while fitting alongside your other commitments.
