It helps when things make sense.
If something isn’t working, we don’t necessarily need to spend months working out exactly how you ended up here.
We need enough understanding to work out what keeps you stuck, what you can influence, and what might help you move.

Does this ring any bells?
You may want to understand why something keeps happening, rather than simply put a label on it.
You may want your therapist to ask questions, explain things, challenge assumptions where useful, and help you work out what might actually change the situation.
People who are curious, prepared to think about things between sessions, and willing to experiment with doing things differently are most likely to find me on their wavelength.
You don’t have to become “a therapy person” to do therapy.
You’re still meant to be you at the end of it.
You should know what we’re doing and why.
Therapy doesn’t need to be mysterious to be useful.
This isn’t weeks of talking followed by me producing a ready-made solution like a rabbit out of a hat.
We work out what seems to be happening, what may be keeping it going, what you can influence, and what might be worth doing differently. If I suggest an exercise, an idea or a different way of looking at something, I’ll explain why.
Between sessions there may be something to notice, think about, practise or put into action. Then we look at what actually happened.
You shouldn’t have to guess how your therapy works.
