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.Â
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.Â
