Services I can provide:
Assessment and treatment of psychological issues.
Treatment under a Mental Health Care Plan (see your GP if you don’t have one!)
My values:
Diversity – celebrating differences while connecting as one human to another
Dignity – recognising that the root of distress is often shame, replacing shame with dignity
Deliberately – structured feedback to find out whether the work we are doing is working.
What you can expect:
In our sessions we will work together to identify specific outcomes you desire. These might change over time, but we will both always know what they are. At the end of each session, we will reflect and decide what parts of the work we did that day was helpful. This way we can be sure that you are recovering, or be aware of what we might need to do differently. These conversations can sometimes be uncomfortable, as we both learn to provide and hear feedback. Evidence shows that deliberate practice leads to better outcomes.
