What can I expect – as a client?
Creative Therapy offers adolescents and adults the opportunity to talk about what is going on for them in a safe, supportive space as well as to use creative media to explore experiences, which may, at times, feel more natural.
Creative Therapy sessions are held in a designated room, a safe space that allows freedom of expression and uninterrupted time. Sessions are usually once a week at a regular time and day and last 50 minutes.
Following an initial meeting and discussion, sessions will develop at your pace. Some people benefit from short-term work while others may need more time. We will look at how things are going for you throughout and will plan when to conclude therapy.
As a client, you can be assured of:
Discretion and confidentiality*.
Respect for and acceptance of your process
Full control over your process, including which topics/ difficulties you choose to explore and how
Clear information about fees
Provision of therapy by a trained and experienced practitioner
*Confidentiality is subject to some limitations: If I become aware that you pose a threat to yourself or others I reserve the right to contact appropriate and necessary services.
