At Starlight Talking Solutions, I believe in building a strong foundation of trust and understanding right from the start. That's why I offer a complimentary 15-minute initial consultation, a chance for us to connect and see if we're a good fit for each other.
During this call, we'll also delve into your needs and goals, ensuring our sessions are tailored just for you.
I blend Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with a Person-Centred approach, providing a holistic framework for our work together. A person centred approach means that our sessions are led by you; you bring to the session anything you want to discuss and together, we'll explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviour’s in a safe and supportive environment, empowering you to make positive changes and achieve your goals. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or navigating life transitions, I'm here to support you every step of the way. No matter what challenges you're facing, you don't have to go through them alone.
Our standard session will be 50 minutes, however our first session is slightly longer, lasting 1 hour, and is charged at the same price as subsequent sessions.
This extended time allows us to dive deeper into your concerns and set the stage for our therapeutic journey together. I do also offer payment options and block bookings, giving you flexibility and peace of mind.
When working with young people, I understand the importance of creating a comfortable and engaging environment. Whether it's talking therapy, creative activities like art or LEGO, or using emotion cards and colouring, I adapt to their interests and needs. I prioritise creating a low-pressure atmosphere, respecting their boundaries and unique communication styles.
During our sessions, we'll explore their thoughts and feelings, whether at home or school, in a confidential and non-judgmental space. The first session includes time for paperwork and informal discussion about our approach, followed by a conversation with you, the parent/guardian, about next steps.
To make the best progress, we'll work together to develop a plan that suits your child's needs. Your child's well-being and progress are my top priorities, and I'm committed to supporting them every step of the way.
I've come to believe that counselling is paramount for children, allowing them to explore friendships, exams, peer pressure, self-harm, and low mood. I understand that behind every behaviour is an emotion, and I'm here to help them recognise and acknowledge these feelings so we can work through them together. This will allow the young person to develop skills to help them through these tough times.
