Courtney’s Therapeutic Approach

The therapy experience is deeply personal and unique. Each person goes on a journey to discover themselves and ask questions they have been meaning to explore. At times, you may be challenged - in a gentle and non-judgemental manner, to consider what might be stuck, or what might be secure. As a therapist, I am just as invested to learn from you, as you may be to learn from your therapy experience.

Why would I be learning from you? Well, all therapists should endeavour to learn something from their clients. Each person who enters the therapy room, has a set of beliefs, values, and experiences which have all intricately interacted to construct your psyche. I do not presume to “know all” just as no human should presume to “know all.”

No human will be a copy of another and every client will be viewed individually with carefully tailored treatment plans. To apply an approach to every client as a “one size fits all” is not my way. I will listen and together we will collaboratively establish a plan that suits your needs.

Feedback of how the therapy made you feel, and what was meaningful to you, is something I value. I will ask you to genuinely share what worked well and how you would like to spend your time. Whilst you can prepare in advance, you can also arrive as you are and let each session evolve naturally.

Therapy is a place you go, to be as vulnerable as you decide and at your pace.
