You are here: you have just taken your first step.

What it is?
The “traditional” way of doing therapy, suitable for most things you might want to talk about, depending on what you want to achieve.
The first session is for us to get to know each other and make sure we are comfortable working together. I will not only ask about what brought you here, but also about your background and current life “setting” in order to get a picture of who you are. You will have the opportunity to ask any questions and share any concerns you might have. At the end of this session, we will enter into a contract and commit to working together.
The sessions will be conducted , following an “open-ended” model: no number of sessions will be set, we will review where you’re at regularly, and will carry on until the work is complete.

Who do I work with?
* young adults aged 16+ (with parental consent)
* adults

How long and how often are the sessions?
* A session lasts an hour.
* Sessions can be held weekly, fortnightly or monthly. Weekly is always recommended at the beginning; the pace can then be adjusted as we progress.

How much does it cost?
* weekly and fortnightly sessions: £60 per session
* monthly sessions: £65 per session

Where do I work?
* Ideally, in nature. I currently work in 5 locations (see below), but am always happy to include new ones. (Some locations may attract an additional fee to cover the time and cost of travelling there).
Being outdoors adds benefits to the therapy: just being in nature may improve your mood, lower your stress and increase the feeling of being connected; walking/physical movement helps with lateral thinking, moving from a “stuck” place and new perspective. It also makes for a more physical experience of therapy, and provides opportunity to incorporate nature in the work – through metaphors, sensory exercises and play.

What it is?
In this model, the issue you bring is worked on within the context of that one session. This makes for very focused work.
It is particularly suitable for situations where you are stuck and wants some help in getting moving in the direction you want. You will get the tools you need to make changes immediately. Further support is always possible – either as another Single Session, or moving into the Short/Mid/Long-term work described above.
Because of the nature of this model your background and life setting are not looking into as much, all the attention being on your current experience of the one issue you want to deal with.

Who do I work with?
* young adults aged 16+ (with parental consent)
* adults

How long is the sessions?
* A session usually lasts an hour, although in some cases it may be shorter.

How much does it cost?
* £100 per session

Where do I work?
* online is often more suitable to this work as I find clients want to take notes during the session.
