What to Expect in a Session.

Lucy, I can’t tell you how good I feel. This has been the best year of my LIFE and you have 100% pushed me into that journey. To have the absolute safety to cry, but then laugh my head off two minutes later is great. I doubt there are many therapists out there like it... You can share a hard and distressing conversation one minute, then be laughing about it the next.

I understand that you may be nervous before your first session, so it is important that you know what to expect.

I work in a relaxed, friendly way from home, so it is comfortable and welcoming. I am a firm believer in the power of humour, as well as the importance of empathy, kindness and support. Ensuring you feel safe, respected and listened to is crucial to me. This is your therapy, so it is tailored to what you want. You are in control and have the final say in what we do.

One of the great things about the type of therapy I practice is that you don’t need to explain why you feel a certain way if you don’t want to, I just need to know how you feel, in what situation and the affect that has on your life. You will not be asked to tell me anything you don’t want to. Our main focus will be on the future; finding the most efficient way for you to move forward and achieve what you want.

At the beginning of the session, we will work together to set an achievable goal for you. Once that goal has been set, I will use NLP in the form of chatty conversation, questioning and discussing things through with you. Often, these conversations enable you to see things in a completely different way, right from the beginning. Sometimes, in future sessions, we may decide that IEMT or hypnotherapy will benefit you.

To close, we will briefly reflect on what we have covered and plan your next steps. It is likely that I will suggest some things for you to do at home to help.  

If you have any questions, however small, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

I’m really pleased to have found Lucy. She’s warm, genuinely caring and positive.
