Working with Joy
The Process of working with me
First, book a call: I offer a free phone consultation to see if working together could be a good fit, and to answer any questions (with no obligation). At the end of the call, you can schedule an initial session with me if you would like to.
The healing begins the moment you decide to book, or confirm your session - it can really shift us into a new pattern when we decide to take action.
Second, fill out a form: After our call you can check you are happy with my my terms and conditions by reading my 'client agreement form', and fill out an intake form which will ask a lot of personal questions aimed at saving time in our first session and giving me an overview and a sense of where to start our work together. For groupwork I also use these forms to create cohesive groups based on similar healing goals. Many clients also find it an illuminating exercise to clarify their own intentions.
Third, come for an initial session: Our first session is a chance to get a sense of what working with me is like, to see how we get along, and if we both feel that I can help. We would typically start by discussing what brought you to the session and what you'd like to get out of it. The middle of the session is unique and may include one or a range of modalities, based on what you bring, and need, which will be a collaboration between you, myself, and spirit. At the end of the initial session we will discuss a healing plan, and I may either make recommendations for your ongoing healing process from my professional network, or if we decide to work together, we'll agree whether to work 1-2-1, with a partner, or in a group, and the length of session (60 or 90mins) and the frequency (weekly or fortnightly). You must have an initial 1-2-1 session if you want to come for groupwork, so I can be sure to create safe feeling groups where there is a good connection between myself and each member of the group. Couples may also work with me for individual sessions, but whenever I see couples the relationship itself is the client, so when couples see me individually between couple sessions these are also in service to the relationship.
Fourth, attend regular sessions: Now the real work begins, and we meet for regular sessions as we've agreed (although we can re-negotiate this at any time so that it continues to suit you). We will bring light to the root causes, bring healing and consciousness to the situations and issues, and work to create permanent sustainable changes that means you can elevate yourself to live as you long to live. We will agree together if and how much work you will do between sessions and I can give you exercises, practices and tools to use for your self healing if you want.
People like to know how long it will take, and this is never possible to answer accurately, but I can say that most people experience significant shifts within 3 months, deep changes after 6-9 months, and complete work with me within 1-2 years, although each person is different and it will depend on how deep you want to go and where you want to be before we finish work.
Finally, the last, and crucially important step of working with me is to create a positive ending. I always ask that 2-3 sessions notice are given if you want to end work so that we can attend to any parts of you that want to feel a sense of completion and resolution and end as well as possible, sometimes you may wish to have a longer ending process where past relationships ending may have been painful, sudden, or traumatic in the past. I remain available to past clients for ad-hoc sessions when needed, so it can also be a 'soft' ending!

Do I have to book a call first to book a session?At the moment, if you are a new client, yes. I offer this free of charge and the purpose of the call is to ensure that it is a good fit.
-
What if I have no phone or an international number?You can provide an email address and we can use an internet based service like Zoom. Just say in the comments box how you would like to be contacted.
-
What time zone are sessions and calls booked in?I am based in the UK on London time - this will either be GMT or BST depending on the season.
-
Can I decide at the end of the first session whether or not to work together?Yes! In fact I recommend it if you are new to my work. All first sessions allow space to speak about whether it feels like a good fit.
-
Can I get my money back if I decide not to come to a session?You will be given a refund according to the cancellation policy. Sessions are refundable or reschedulable with 5 working days notice, 50% refundable within 5 working days, with the option of rescheduling if that is possible, and no refund is offered if you cancel within 48 hours. This is not the case for group sessions where you need to commit to the whole block of sessions and no refunds can be given if you can't make a session.

-
Is groupwork for me?There may be reasons for and against working in a group, and this would be good to discuss in the initial phone consultation. Some reasons group work may suit you are: - You would like to heal wounds that involve group dynamics - You would benefit from witnessing the healing of others with similar wounds - You can both speak in groups and listen while giving space for others to speak - You would like more community and connection Some reasons group work may not be suitable for you are: - You find it hard to give space to others in groups - You can't share and speak openly in a group - You cannot respect group boundaries or the boundaries of the individuals in a group Of course this can be a much more complex question, so book a consultation and talk it through if you are at all unsure.
