1st Session!

Consists of a 50 min online counselling session.

All you need is a browser.

Online sessions are conducted on Doxy.me, a highly secure platform used by many healthcare practitioners. 

Doxy.me works like Zoom. Once a session is booked, you will be sent a link to Steve Rose’s meeting room.

 

Meeting you where you are at.

My approach consists of using two highly client-centered evidence-based counselling techniques:

Motivational Interviewing (MI) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

MI consists of a collaborative conversation about change that has been demonstrated to improve focus and motivation. ACT is a technique designed to target one’s relationship to the unhelpful thoughts and emotions that drive behaviour.
