"I'm a strong believer that therapy is hard work for client and therapist, and if you leave feeling like you've had a "nice cup of tea with Aunty Fran" then that isn't therapy. Be prepared for homework, be prepared for challenge, and be prepared for me to work just as hard to push you to gain skills to self-manage."
"I will work with you to improve your life."
