simple answer no. If you want the same time and day each week then it’s best to book that slot. Counselling can be hard with breaks in between and can work better for some peoole to have regular sessions. However i’m aware that work and shifts can often make that difficult. So we can work in a way to suit you.

simple answer no!

Creative therapy can include doodling, using sand, paint, buttons, therapy cards, games, fairytales and stones to name a few. They are there as a way of exploring what can often be difficult to put into words and help navigate in a non judgmental safe way.

simple answer yes! It's good to have a journal and pens and paper handy. We can negotiate how we will work and with what and work to your needs

Yes you can stim and fidget. I have lots of fidgets and things to fiddle with if you need them. Or bring your own. Whatever you feel comfortable with. If you feel you need to move about, thats fine too. If eye contact is difficult, we can work around that for your needs.
