FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
A formal referral is not necessary as I accept self-referrals. You are welcome to phone or email for an appointment or to discuss whether therapy might be appropriate for you. If you cannot get hold of me, please leave a message (voicemail or txt) and I will respond as soon as possible.
I use several modes of therapy interconnectedly: Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Compassion-focused therapy (CFT), and Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT). If appropriate I also incorporate my background in biology and biochemistry to create a more holistic approach.
The number of sessions usually depends on the problem and your individual goals. However, the methods of treatment I use are relatively short-term. We can agree on an initial number of sessions and progress will be reviewed regularly to make sure we are working together effectively to meet desired outcomes.
Appointments may take place weekly, fortnightly, or less frequently depending on your needs.
I work weekdays from 9am to 5pm, but occasionally do out of hours sessions.
Your privacy and confidentiality is important and will be clearly discussed in the first session.
I am legally and ethically bound to keep our sessions confidential and not share with anyone else what is talked about. Exceptions to this are if I think that you or another person could be at imminent risk of harm or if I am compelled by law to disclose information.
