What to expect

I am happy to do a quick chemistry call with you if you would like to run through things briefly. It can give you a sense of me…and me of you. Text me on 087795518 and we can arrange some a time for this.

The first session is generally an assessment session to determine how and if I can help you and to see if we click. You need to assess me too. I want you to feel comfortable and safe and you need to figure out if the fit is right for you. We might decide to start off together weekly for 1hr (individuals) and then move to fortnightly as you settle into things being different.

If we decide we are all good to go ahead with more sessions, we figure out what goals you have for the work and how you will know when you have reached them.

If you are coming with your partner, I would love to know what kind of relationship you want. How would it feel different, look different, be different to how it is now?

I want to hear from both of you about how the relationship is for you and if there are things you might want to stop or start doing to achieve the kind of relationship you want.

After we have the first session, I like to meet with you both individually to explore your family-of-origin dynamics and attachments. This may take one or two sessions depending on what comes up. This is very important to the work we then go on to do together.

The therapeutic hour is a 50-minute session for individuals and 1.5 hours for a couple. I need to allow for scheduling etc at the end.

I am happy to issue receipts via email at the end of each session when requested. If you consult with your health insurance company, you can find out what percentage they cover depending on your package. I am accredited with the IAHIP- Irish Association of Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapists.

If for any reason you need to reschedule, I ask that you give me 24hrs ‘ notice as otherwise it is my policy to charge a full fee for the late cancellation.

My therapy dog Crissey sometimes likes to hang out but if you are not a dog lover that is no problem, she can stay at home, and it will just be you & me.
