What a first session looks like
Our first session is 50 minutes and is a chance to get to know each other. My aim is to offer a safe, respectful space where you set the pace. We’ll talk about what’s bringing you to therapy, what you’d like support with, and any background you feel comfortable sharing. You’re welcome to share as much or as little as feels right. I’ll explain how I work, including how I combine talking with gentle attention to what’s happening in the body. Therapy with me is collaborative, so together we’ll consider whether we’re a good fit and shape what ongoing sessions might look like.
