My focus is to help individuals recover, energise and become aware of their inner strengths. I achieve this by providing a neutral safe space, listening to your concerns, and customising a treatment plan. I aim to be there through every step of my client's journey. My goal is to help them grow from their struggles, recover from their pain and move forward to where they want to be in their lives. I will be here to navigate with clients through their journey to emotional/mental wellbeing in the best way possible for them.
I will ensure that a collaborative process takes place between client and myself, the therapist, towards reaching a goal centred treatment plan.
I am adaptable in my approaches to suit clients' needs and can negotiate on number of sessions they wish to have.
I have NHS based clinical Training based on the latest evidence-based models and techniques, to provide clients with a high standard of care.
I participate in CPD courses as suited to my job to keep my knowledge current.
There will be constant monitoring of progress via completion of specialised questionnaires to help us both to better understand how clients are feeling and would regularly review these.
