Emma
Peterson
Registered Psychologist
As a psychologist it is my priority to build a rapport with you, establish a sense of safety, and to ensure that you feel understood and heard. I have a casual, empathic therapeutic style and use humour and warmth to help you feel comfortable exploring your own thoughts, feelings and needs.
“Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen.”
What To Expect At Your First Visit
"I am continually reminded of the extraordinary strength and dignity inherent in every human"
The initial session is an opportunity for you and I to determine if we are a good fit for one another. In simple terms, do I feel I have the expertise to support you with the challenges you present and do you feel comfortable and confident in the work we could do together. During your first session, I will ask a variety of questions to gather a comprehensive understanding of your concerns. This includes exploring various aspects of your life, such as your relationships, work, social life, and family. Towards the end of our first session, we'll begin to discuss your desired outcomes for therapy. Together, we'll establish clear goals and identify how we'll measure progress. This collaborative approach ensures we're both actively involved in your treatment journey. Typically, active therapy interventions will commence in the second session, following the establishment of treatment goals and the selection of the most suitable therapeutic approach for your unique needs.
