Generally your first session will be used as an consultation or assessment. It provides an opportunity for us to get to know each other. It allows you to identify your issues as you see them, and for me to start to gain an idea of what your needs are. I may ask you questions about different areas of your life - the past, present and future. This can help me find out what you are struggling with on a deeper level so that I am in a better position to help you.

Counselling usually refers to a brief therapy that centres around behaviour patterns. Psychotherapy focuses on working with clients for a longer-term and draws from insight into emotional problems and difficulties of your life's recurring themes or patterns. 

I offer both short-term counselling and long-term psychotherapy. With short-term counselling, I help you to identify and deal with specific problems that would encourage the change of behaviours. With long-term psychotherapy, I work with identitying the root cause of recurring themes or patterns in your life, and transform limitations into your inherent potentials.  

In fact, there is no typical counselling session. I am highly trained in listening and reflecting, and provides a safe environment in which to explore your issues. You are free to discuss what you wish, from everyday events, dilemmas, feelings, and thoughts, to regrets, aspirations, memories and dreams. 

I meet with clients on the basis of weekly sessions, because the standard format of weekly sessions helps you make gradual and steady progress that means you see real results. 

I suggest clients not to book in advance, if you are not sure about your own personal schedule, but rather, WAIT until you are certain you can commit to weekly sessions. 

You will know that these sessions are working for you when you notice a change in your state of mind or in your behaviours. There are many signs to let you know that therapy is working for you, and I will constantly review your progress and you can check in with yourself and me in reagrd to the goals you set to yourself when starting therapy.
