The Keys to Successful Therapy

There has been a lot of research conducted to discover what makes therapy work. Consistently, the findings show that the key factor is the relationship that develops between therapist and client. The other most important thing is that the therapist adapts to the client’s characteristics, culture and preferences. My Integrative Psychotherapeutic approach is buy its very nature, adaptable. We may draw on Hypnotherapy, Psychotherapy and Counselling in a way that suits you. I have a responsibility to listen with openness and in turn you have a responsibility to bring your best resources to each session.

My Commitment to You

All relationships are based on trust, and the therapeutic relationship is no different. I will always do my best to understand you and your issues without making any presumptions. Everyone is different and you are entitled to be you and to hold your views about the world. If I struggle to understand, I will ask. I will not judge you and I will presume good intent. I will also be honest so that you will always know where you stand with me.

What You Can Talk About

It is common for clients to be worried about disclosing information, wondering if it is safe to do so. I offer you this list of some things (and there are many others) which clients may have experienced and which can be discussed subject to the requirements for disclosure which you can find here.

Abuse: domestic, sexual, physical or emotional (past or present).
Self harm or suicidal thoughts/attempts.
