How can I support you?
Before we begin the therapeutic relationship, I offer a free 20-minute initial consultation online via Teams.
This gives you space to ask questions, share a little about what brings you to therapy, and get a sense of how I work. This is an opportunity to get a feel for whether therapy is right for you and to see whether my approach fits your needs.
I appreciate it can feel daunting to take the first steps towards seeking help or meeting a new therapist. There is no pressure to share more than you feel comfortable with, or commit to sessions during the consultation.
If you would like to move forward & arrange a free consultation, you are welcome to get in touch.
If you decide to go ahead with therapy, we can continue to have weekly or bi-weekly 50 minute sessions for as many weeks as we feel is best for you. Some people prefer to meet less often, I am happy to be flexible to meet your needs.
What to expect?
I offer 50 minute therapy sessions either in-person in Leeds City Centre and online via Teams, ensuring flexibility & accessibility.
Location: Park Place Practice, Second Floor, 17 Park Place, Leeds LS1 2SJ
I offer £50 in person sessions or £40 fee for students and unemployed / low income clients. Payment can be made by bank transfer.
Long-term or short-term therapy?
I offer short-term & long-term therapy for adults 18+. Sessions can be open-ended & regularly discussed to allow the work to unfold naturally when working in depth.
Short-term therapy (focused time-limited 6-20 weeks)
Short-term therapy can be helpful if you would like to focus on a specific issue or develop coping strategies for a difficulty you are facing.
This approach can provide structure and clarity, helping you work towards particular goals within an agreed timeframe.
Long-term therapy (space for deeper exploration)
Long-term therapy may feel appropriate if you would prefer an open-ended exploratory process.
This can allow space for deeper self-reflection to understand long-standing relational patterns, past experiences, unconscious processes, how early relationships may be impacting present & deeper roots of emotional difficulties. The pace is guided by you, allowing time for reflection, process and building awareness.
