My name is Julia
Dando.
I offer a warm, relaxed and non-judgmental professional
relationship. This therapeutic relationship is like no
other in your life. The time that we spend together is
all about you – it is your time and my role is to be
there for you and you alone in the time we spend working
together. You will have my undivided attention.
It is important that you feel comfortable with me as
your therapist and that we both feel we can work
together to build a good therapeutic relationship in
order to facilitate change in your life.
I offer a 45 minute initial meeting and this is an
opportunity to ask questions and see if we feel happy
working together. If we both feel positive to go ahead
we can then agree on a plan for further sessions, which
is likely to involve a minimum of 6 sessions but can
extend to accommodate your needs.
Sessions are usually weekly and 50mins – 1 hour in
length, for both long and short term work.
We can work together by talking and listening and there
are a variety of additional ways that we can use to help
you explore and express your thoughts and feelings. This
might include writing, drawing, sand, avatars, animals
or nature-based activities. Our choice of activities
will be determined by what you feel most comfortable
with.
I have a good understanding and knowledge of gender and
sexual diversities and my experience extends to working
with people who are suffering from depression, anxiety,
family, developmental and relationship issues, trauma,
loss and bereavement.
I currently offer online counselling either by FaceTime/Whereby
video link and offer retreat weeks at my location in
France for UK-based clients. |
