You may be seeking therapy for a number of different reasons or with one particular concern in mind. In order to help you most effectively, the first two to four sessions will be focused on understanding your concerns in context. We will discuss some of your past and present experiences that may be contributing to your distress. You may also be asked to complete some general screening measures to help us gain further clarity on goals for therapy.
We will also spend some time highlighting personal strengths and how these can be harnessed to your benefit. After this initial assessment phase, we will discuss a therapy plan and the number of anticipated sessions moving forward. We use evidence-based therapy approaches that have proven to be effective such as Metacognitive Therapy (MCT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
