You know, when you think of therapy, you might picture lying on a fancy leather couch while a stern psychologist scribbles notes about your childhood. Well, those days are kind of a relic from Freud's time. Today, therapy looks quite different... at least with me.

I don’t have a fancy leather couch… yet! I can only offer you a comfy armchair.

So, what's individual therapy with a psychologist all about? It's like having a personal guide to help you navigate life's challenges. How it's done can vary a lot, depending on your unique needs, the approach we use, and the issue you're facing.

Now, what goes on in these therapy sessions? Well, the length of a therapy session is 50 minutes.

Your first session is usually about getting to know each other. I will ask about your background, current situation, family, job, and friends. I won't push you (ever!) to spill all your secrets, but I need enough info to figure out what you may need. Sometimes, the issue you are facing is pretty clear… But other times, there might be something deeper going on, lurking beneath the surface.

It's important for both of us to understand the problem and come up with a plan to tackle it. The first step is figuring out what the problem is, then why it's happening, what is maintaining it, why is not getting better or worse, and finally, finding ways to move forward.

Remember, even though I have the clinical skills and the research knowledge, you're the one in the driver's seat. If you ever feel like the therapy should go a different way, don't hesitate to chat about it with me. I am always open to your feedback.

Our relationship is a big deal for me. If there's anything about me that doesn't sit well with you, if you don't feel at ease, or if my therapy style (or conversational tone) doesn't resonate with you, trust your instincts.

So, there you have it—the ins and outs of individual therapy in a nutshell. In summary, I am like your GPS, but you're always the one steering the car.

I started the Psychology and Neuroscience Informed Consultancy because I saw a real need across various sectors, ranging from education to the building & construction industry.

Professionals like me were looking for a way to blend psychology and neuroscience interventions with trauma-informed care.

I firmly believe that the combination of neuroscience and trauma-informed approaches is crucial in our work with individuals who have experienced trauma.

My consultancy work can be tailored to meet specific needs, facilitate reflective practice for teams, provide professional supervision, or address broader organisational goals. Feel free to reach out to me to discuss your requirements.
