The first session I spend some time getting to know you, and learning about significant factors in your life. It is important to me as a Gestalt Psychotherapist to get to know something of your background, the fields that have shaped and influenced you. I try to make this conversation a warm-hearted telling of your many stories. I also want to know some of the risk factors, and so I will ask direct questions about your mental health history.
Coming to therapy once a week is ideal, but sometimes that is too much of a strain on your budget. Coming to therapy fortnightly means we will still have continuity. I am also available for brief intensives of more than one session per week.
When I have seen you for a time in a therapeutic relationship, then sessions can be negotiated for when you need them, or for intensive series of sessions for a short period of time.
