UKCP Registered Integrative Psychotherapist working from The Practice Rooms in Summertown, Oxford, where I offer both individual and couples sessions.
People decide to come for Counselling for all kinds of different reasons. It may be in response to a particular problem that has happened in their lives and has knocked them ‘off balance’ or it may be something they have been considering for a long time. On the other hand, it may be something that has been suggested by someone close to them or by a professional, such as a GP. Whatever the reason, it can be daunting to consider counselling or psychotherapy and confusing to know which counsellor to choose for the best. There are many different kinds of approaches and all the recent research has confirmed that the most important element in getting a good outcome from therapy is the interaction or connection between you and your counsellor. It’s all about who will work best for you.
Please have a look around my website at www.paulamaddisoncounselling.co.uk and if you think I might be the right psychotherapist for you to work with then make a booking for an initial session, where we can find out.
If you make the decision to book a first, exploratory session with me then, during that first session we will explore your reasons for coming to therapy and you will have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have. It is also a chance for both of us to assess whether we feel we’re suited to working together, and there is no obligation to meet again. If the decision is not to work together, then I am happy to refer you on to another counsellor or psychotherapist if you wish.
