It is common to feel uncertain about coming to see someone, especially if it is your first time. Many people find that they feel quite relaxed by the end of the first session. If you have any specific concerns, please feel free to raise this over the telephone or via email.

Psychotherapy is a means of discovering an 'awareness' of ones' thoughts, feelings, actions, perceptions and motives. In order to get relief from symptoms it is necessary to explore these patterns and behaviours and bring them into awareness. This works through the development of a relationship between the therapist and the client. This relationship is based on a mutual concern for the client's welfare where trust, care, confidentiality and safety are major components.
