Our first conversation is deliberately undemanding. I will ask what brought you now and what you would like to change, and I will not ask for a history unless you want to give one. Plenty of people spend the first several sessions on current practicalities and reach the older material much later, if at all. That order is a choice rather than an accident. Childhood wounds are best approached once there is some trust in the room, and trust cannot be manufactured in a first meeting by anybody. So we start where it is comfortable and move inward only as fast as you find tolerable. You will always know what we are doing and why. My practice grew slowly through recommendation, which suits work that depends so heavily on people feeling unhurried. That is the standard I keep. If a first conversation with no history required sounds manageable, get in touch.
