  • Our approach

    My Appletree takes a grounded, person-centred approach that combines evidence-based methods with compassion and care. Sessions are tailored to your unique needs, integrating both mind and body to help you understand connections between mental and physical well-being. The practice believes that stress, anxiety, and relationship struggles show up not just in the mind but also in how you feel physically, so therapy works to build healthier patterns of regulation, resilience, and emotional well-being. Every session is designed to feel relevant and supportive, bringing warmth, humour, and genuine connection to the therapeutic experience.

  • Your first visit

    At a first appointment, most therapists at My Appletree offer a free initial consultation, either over the phone or in person. This is an opportunity for you to ask questions and determine if the therapist is the right fit for you. You can ask about their experience working with clients with similar issues, their treatment approach, and what you can expect from therapy. The consultation helps you understand whether you feel comfortable and connected with the therapist, as the therapeutic relationship is a crucial foundation for successful therapy.
