What’s 4u-therapy all about and what can you expect?
If you are feeling anxious or low, or are coming to terms with bereavement, loss or rejection and facing a challenge that seems overwhelming, then talking to a professional can help, and you are in the right place if this is you. The first step is seeking help, which can be very scary and feel confronting and bewildering, so well done for starting the process.
4uTherapy provides a safe space for individuals to share the reasons and events that have brought them to seek help. As an integrative therapist, I use different approaches, although I always start with what brings you to therapy. I will believe what you tell me, accept you for who you are and help you to process your past and find your own inner healing and acceptance. I will work at your pace and prioritise open, honest communication between us. I offer a one-off session to start with to see if we are a good fit, and we will go from there. No set number of sessions works for everyone, and I will work with you and your own individual needs.
I understand and am experienced in working with neurodivergent clients who, amongst other things, may be Autistic or have ADHD or both. I am an LGBTIQQ ally, and alongside this, I have lived in ten countries on three continents and am aware of how cultural and religious differences may inform therapy. I have wide experience of working with clients from many different backgrounds, of all ages and stages in life, some of whom have reached crisis points in their lives.
Most of my work is online, and I currently use Teams or WhatsApp video calls, which state they are GDPR compliant and/or securely encrypted. Face-to-face counselling is available on request in Prestatyn, North Wales. Spaces for this are limited and may incur a small extra fee of £5.00 per session.
