The well matched client

The clients that work well with my style of therapy are:

  • motivated and committed not only to the end goal but also to the process

  • work hard and make every session count

  • honest and open and don’t let shame stop the work

  • take time to reflect and develop their insight

  • not afraid to disarm their defences to see what’s underneath

  • work with me to build mutuality in respect and trust

  • able to call out what’s not working and are open to repair

  • brave so they can turn towards what once was uncomfortable and painful so they can grow
