Initial Consultation
Embarking on a journey of counselling is a significant step, and it begins with our initial session. This first meeting is a vital opportunity for us to get to know each other. For me, it's crucial that you feel a sense of trust and comfort in my presence, as these are the foundations of a successful therapeutic relationship. Equally important is the feeling of connection between us – a mutual understanding and rapport that I describe as the 'I' and 'Thou/You' relationship.
Should you choose to proceed with counselling with me, we will initially arrange a series of five sessions. These sessions are designed to explore your inner world with awareness and mindfulness. Our focus will always be grounded in the 'Here and Now', a core principle of Gestalt Therapy, to aid in your journey towards self-discovery and personal growth.
My approach is deeply rooted in the principles of Gestalt Therapy, which you can learn more about on the Gestalt page. I view each person as an integrated whole, encompassing body, mind, and spirit, and this holistic perspective is woven into every aspect of our sessions. Recognizing the unique preferences of my clients, I also incorporate visual and tactile elements into my therapy for those who find these sensory experiences meaningful.
What is most important to me is that you, as a client, feel connected both to yourself and to me during our sessions. This connection is key to facilitating a safe and nurturing environment where you can freely explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. The therapeutic space I provide aims to be one where you feel heard, understood, and supported as you navigate the complexities of your inner world.
The initial consultation is not just an introduction; it's the beginning of a collaborative journey. Together, we will embark on a path of discovery and growth, using Gestalt Therapy's integrative approach to enhance your self-awareness and foster personal transformation.
I look forward to meeting you and starting this enriching journey together. Let’s connect in a space of understanding and mindfulness, and take the first step towards a more integrated and fulfilling life.
