What is working with me like?
Therapy can be daunting if you don’t know what to expect. I’m not a doctor, you don’t need to question how you’re phrasing things or use formal language when you come for your sessions. It’s okay to swear, laugh, cry or vent… or not. Therapy is a space for you, so you do you.
I always aim to be myself when working with a client (this is sometimes called congruence), and I really hope you can be yourself too. I hope that by offering a space free of judgement that you will feel in time that you can be more of yourself when you come to therapy.
There is no such thing as “right” or “wrong” things to talk about in therapy. Talk to me about your deepest thoughts and feelings, talk to me about sport, work, your week, your relationships, what you hate, what you love, sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll.
Life is about light and shade, and I think therapy often reflects this. Sometimes we can think that therapy is a place to feel sad and nothing else, but all feelings are welcome, even the silly, angry and happy feelings.
