The initial focus will be on building a strong working relationship and developing shared insights. Elfin will then draw upon these insights to find an approach that best fits with your needs and your strengths in consultation with you. She will take careful consideration in discussing the pros and cons of different approaches and only go ahead with your approval and consent. She will also be open and transparent and share her thoughts when you ask to support the development of an honest therapeutic working relationship so that she can see you. She thinks that it is only from a place of being seen and understood that psychological growth happens.
