“How long are you going to wait before you demand the best for yourself”
Epictetus
Social anxiety friendly
I know just how daunting it can be, deciding to seeking help.
But then to find a therapist, set up an appointment and find the strength to attend
...can be the hardest part.
I experienced this anxiety and worry myself many years ago,
I have watched my friends and family, actively avoid therapy, for this same trepidation.
This is when I decided, that offering a 'social anxiety friendly' service was a top priority.
IMT
Instant Message Therapy is a modern solution to an age old problem. Many people are too anxious to have a face to face, video or telephone session. With this option, the client is able to have a secure, encrypted conversation, at a scheduled time like any other therapy appointment, where they will receive instant replies from me for the full hour. Being able to express yourself through the written (or in this case typed) word, gives you more control over what you would like to share. IMT can be switched to voice or video call at any point during your time as my client.
If for example, you feel comfortable speaking on the phone with me after a few sessions of IMT, this is absolutely fine, but also, in no way necessary. No pressure.
Neurodivergent Friendly
Despite 1 in 7 people in the UK being diagnosed as Neurodivergent...
A lot of mental health services are yet to catch up. This can lead to misdiagnosis, and even being unnecessarily medicated. There isn't a lot of information about Autism, ADHD etc. within the courses for counselling, it really does need to be a topic of interest for the therapist or first hand experience. Luckily, I have both. I have heard so many disappointing stories of my 'neurospicy' (not an official term) friends, leaving therapy even more traumatized, due to lack of understanding around their unique mind. I strive to accommodate EVERYBODY and take everything into account.
T
LGBTQ Friendly
This should go without saying, but I'll say it anyway! Loudly for those at the back.
My practice is LGBTQ friendly.
Always.
