Integrative-relational counselling brings together a range of different counselling and psychotherapeutic theories and practices from a relational perspective. It is an effective form of counselling because given the diversity and complexity of human beings there is no single specific approach that is suitable for all.

During our initial 15 minute telephone consultation we will briefly discuss your current circumstances and best hopes from counselling/EMDR. I would hope to be able to answer any questions you might have.

In our first 50 minute session (60 minutes -EMDR) we will discuss your current circumstances and relevant past experiences in more detail. The session is designed to give us both more of an idea whether we can work together to achieve your best hopes for the sessions.

As an Accredited Member of the BACP I offer confidential sessions in accordance with the BACP’s Ethical Framework for Counselling professions.

It’s recommended to start with a minimum of 6 weekly counselling sessions. EMDR can differ from this with less complex issues dealt with in fewer weekly sessions. However, this is dependent on individual circumstances and would be discussed at our first session.
