FAQs
What is your experience of Mental Health service development?
I was the clinincal lead and Head of Counselling & Mental Health service for 8 years at a Higher Educational Institution. I strategically developed the service and line managed therapists and mental health advisors
Can you diagnose me?
I am not able to formally diagnose you with a mental health condition according to the western medical model (DSM), however, I can informally assess you and suggest a diagnosis which you can verify with a psychiatrist who can provide a formal diagnosis.
What is the benefit of a 30 min advice session?
A 30-minute advice session provides brief and immediate support, as well as signposting, to guide you on the next step in your support. If you are confused about what psychological support they need, I can help you navigate through the confusion, provide mental health advice, & sign post you to relevant support tailored to your individual needs.
Do you always use hypnotherapy in therapy?
I tailor my therapy to what my clients want. My usual approach is integrative, so I blend my approaches. However, is a client did not want particular types of interventions I would not use them in our sessions.
Can I have therapy if I live in a different country?
Yes absolutely. We will schedule a time that suits our time zone.
Unsure of what help you need?
If you are unsure what mental health support you need or who/where you should get help from, we can have a 30min online advice/signpost session
