Individual and Couples therapy sessions run for 60-75 minutes (depending on your needs/preferences) which include 5 minutes at each end to, first, settle in gently and, after, to aid a contained, grounded finish.
Weekly sessions at the same time and day each week are recommended because the routine anchors the commitment to yourself and helps build an important boundary and safe space around your therapy sessions. Sessions are bespoke and continuously co-created between us, depending on what you wish to work towards within the therapeutic relationship.
During your first assessment session we will decide on an opening Therapeutic Contract and start to determine a focus for our work together; sometimes it is helpful to establish a time frame but nothing is fixed or rigid, we work collaboratively throughout.
I also offer creative "sew-co-therapy" sessions in-person for individuals or small groups of four. See below for more details...
Take the first step towards your empowered future self by honouring your need for support at this time.
Let's work together. Contact me via email or WhatsApp today to schedule a 1 hour introductory assessment session on Zoom.
This therapy session offers a one-to-one talk therapy approach where you will have the opportunity to sit comfortably in my cozy armchairs in a homely environment with a hot drink and speak face to face about your current and previous challenges, explore your ways of relating to yourself and others, reflect on patterns of behaviour and choices that might be limiting your full expression, and gently unearth your desired changes so that together we can identify, utilise and develop the tools and resources that bring healing and cultivate your sense of agency and autonomy.
This couples therapy session is open to partners who are wanting to continue in their relationship as well as couples in the process of separation.
Couples therapy sessions are unique in that the emphasis is on your relationship as the client. Together, we explore the story of your journey so far, honour your individual and shared values, address struggles (eg. in communication, handling conflict, emotional or physical contact, family dynamics, or a breakdown in trust), and aim to strengthen the mutual respect and sense of connection in how you work together.

This outdoor therapy session offers the opportunity to spend time in nature, to connect to yourself and the environment around you, and speak about your current and previous challenges, patterns of behaviour and choices, and your desired changes in a contemplative space.
Being in nature during your therapy session can help reduce overwhelm from stress, anxiety, depression, and anger, and can leave you feeling more grounded and nourished.

CANCELLATION
HOLIDAYS
For the weeks where you or I are on planned holidays, these will be agreed a minimum of 7 days in advance, and no fee will be due.
Please note, my home workspace is not pet-free. I have an enthusiastic large black Labrador dog and two wayward cats, and those pets will be around during your session. In-person sessions therefore include an opportunity to pet the pets which can help regulate your nervous system. During online sessions, my dog does occasionally bark if anyone knocks on the front door, and one cat in particular likes to climb around in the background when I am on Zoom!
Please also be aware that - for in-person sessions - whilst I can provide a clean and private therapy room to hold your session in, the rest of the house is the home I share with my two adult daughters, so the bathroom and kitchen are shared areas. You are welcome to use our family bathroom but, if you’d prefer, there is a public toilet at the BP petrol station 0.4 miles away (perfect to pause at on the way in and/or out of Penrhyncoch).
