An initial consultation provides you with an hour and a half meeting in which you can stop and take stock of your emotional life. I offer a private, confidential and non-judgemental setting in which you can speak freely about whatever is concerning you. You may wish to talk about your feelings, relationships, particular experiences or memories, your thoughts, dilemmas or conflicts, fantasies or dreams which puzzle or interest you; in fact, anything which is important to you. Together we will explore what might be troubling you, and I will help you make sense of your experiences. The process is one of curiosity, respect, and kindness. Putting your thoughts and feelings into words and talking them through with someone who listens attentively, and wishes to understand you and help you, can be a relief in itself.
