Effective psychotherapy and counselling is based on the key element of trust between client and therapist. All information disclosed by our clients is treated as confidential, whether the information is given in person, on the phone or by email. Feeling safe and secure in the relationship with your practitioner is of utmost importance, and we place this at the core of the therapeutic process. This means working together to build a healing framework for the therapy, through confidentiality and professional boundaries. We work at a pace that is comfortable for the client, focusing on strengths and resources as well as the difficult issues. Habitual patterns of relating tend to be repeated in the therapy relationship, and we bring our integrity and commitment to exploring these patterns as they come up. Our aim as psychotherapists and counsellors is to ensure a balance of both support and challenge according to each client’s need.
