Question 3

What is Gestalt therapy?

Accepted Answer

Gestalt therapy is a holistic approach that focuses on the present moment, helping you gain awareness of your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours.

Question 4

I’m struggling with trauma, can you help?

Accepted Answer

I can sit with you even if you’re struggling to find the words to tell me about your trauma.  Your body and your nervous system are wise, and you’ll take time to work out if I’m the right person to do this important work with.

Question 5

Am I allowed to talk about sometimes feeling suicidal?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you’re absolutely allowed to talk about sometimes feeling suicidal.

Question 6

I’m finding work really difficulty, can you help?

Accepted Answer

Before embarking on my career as a psychotherapist, I had a rich and varied professional background across several fields.

Shouldn’t I be able to manage with support from friends and family?

Accepted Answer

Although support from friends and family can be invaluable, it’s sometimes useful to speak to someone neutral, who has no other involvement in your life.

Question 8

I really think I need some advice - will you tell me what to do?

Accepted Answer

Annoyingly I probably won’t tell you what to do.  I believe you’re the expert in your life.  I’ll help you explore options, and I’ll probably highlight possibilities you haven’t considered, but I’m unlikely to advise you what to do.

Question 9

I’m worried about feeling upset.

Accepted Answer

It’s natural to feel worried and nervous about coming to therapy – you are meeting a stranger to talk about your feelings.

Question 10

What will the first session be like?

After greeting each other we’ll go over my ‘Psychotherapy Agreement’ which I’ll send to you before the first session.  You can ask me any questions about how I work.

Question 11

What will the initial telephone/Zoom call be like?

Accepted Answer

I'll introduce myself, ask what brings you to therapy, and discuss your goals. I'll outline how I work and answer any questions—feel free to interrupt whenever you need clarification.

Question 12

Will you tell anyone I’m coming for therapy?

Accepted Answer

No, absolutely not.  I’ll discuss confidentiality, what this means and how I work during your first session.

Question 13

How do I schedule an initial chat?

Accepted Answer

To schedule an exploratory chat, where we see if we’re a good fit, please visit my Contact Page and get in touch. I’ll be happy to answer any questions and find a time that works for you.
