How do I know if this is right for me?
Working from the perspective of depth psychology, it differs from other short term, solution focused therapy in that it is a form of long term psychotherapy and is designed to create lasting effects and changes in your life by having a thorough analysis of your past and life as a whole. If you have tried other treatment modality and still feel that there's more to explore, then working through your unconscious materials might be helpful.
It is concerned with making the unconscious conscious - interpreting images and artworks, dreams and symbols, behaviours and relational patterns for contents that may be outside of our awareness. These insights help you reframe your engagement with yourself and the world around you.
I’m interested in trying out art-making in therapy but what if I can’t draw?
No artistic abilities is required for art therapy. If you’d like to try art therapy but is nervous about making art for the first, feel free to send an enquiry email and we can work through it together.
How many sessions will I need?
It varies from person to person and largely dependent on the goals of therapy that you are looking for. We will discuss this in the initial consultation and continue to review it during therapy. I typically see clients on a weekly or twice weekly basis.
How much will it cost?
I have a fixed rate per session but offer a sliding scale to meet your needs. Please send through an enquiry form and we can discuss my fees.
How do I pay?
I bill clients on a monthly basis. The most common way of paying is by bank transfer. I will send you an invoice by email with my bank details.
Where’s your consulting room?
I’m located in Hobsonville Point, Auckland. Please contact me for the exact location.
Do you offer online sessions?
I offer sessions by Skype. This is a good option if you are not in a position to come to my practice location. Please let me know if this is your preferred option in your initial enquiry.
