“I view counselling and psychotherapy as a very close partnership between us. You define the problem areas to be worked on; and I use my clinical experience, knowledge, and training to help you make the changes you want to create.”
I firmly believe that you need to be very comfortable with the therapist you choose to work with and, at the same time, that you feel confident and optimistic about counselling and psychotherapy. When you feel this way, counselling and psychotherapy is much more likely to be very helpful to you.
At the beginning of our work together, in the interests of accuracy and efficiency, and in order to save time and money, I will provide you with a detailed questionnaire for you to complete at home. When completed, this questionnaire will provide us with a comprehensive, in-depth foundation that will enable you to receive the best results from counselling or psychotherapy.
Sometimes quickly, and sometimes more gradually, the process of counselling and psychotherapy can enable you to not only overcome your life challenges, but also develop more awareness of yourself and your relationship with others.
This awareness can naturally unfold as you develop a clearer understanding of yourself through an analysis of your experiences in your family of origin, childhood experiences, dreams, and other important relationships and events. You can then begin to actually experience real progress and positive change by applying what we cover in our sessions to what is happening in the rest of your life.
A deeper understanding of yourself, emotional healing, personal growth, peace of mind, and more authentic and healthy relationships with others, can naturally develop through your commitment to the process of positive change.
I am looking forward to a successful therapeutic relationship with you.
– Sarah
