It's a chance for both of us to get a sense of whether working together feels right. I'll want to hear a little about what's brought you here, and you can ask me anything you need to. If I don't think I'm the best fit for what you need right now, I'll suggest someone in my network who might be.
-
The early sessions are about understanding what's actually going on, what the problem looks like from the inside, how it shows up in your day-to-day life, and what might need to shift for things to feel different. We're building a shared picture of what we're working with before we start working on it.
-
I usually begin with weekly sessions. Once we've built a solid therapeutic relationship, we can discuss moving to fortnightly if that suits. Some people come for a focused, shorter piece of work; others stay longer. I believe in the value of both, it depends on what you're bringing and what you're working towards.
-
I work online only at the moment. Research consistently shows that online therapy is as effective as in-person therapy.
Working remotely also means therapy can fit around your life rather than the other way around. You can attend from home, during a lunch break, or from another country entirely. All you need is a private space and a stable connection. I work with clients across the UK and internationally.
What I do ask is that you find somewhere you won't be overheard or interrupted, so that the space feels genuinely yours for that hour.
-
Individual therapy is £125 per session. Couples therapy is £140 per session.
I am registered with health insurance providers. Please get in touch and I can confirm whether your provider is covered.

Everything is confidential except where there's a serious risk of harm to you or someone else, or where disclosure is required by law.

You don't need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Yalom (1989) wrote that ‘the unexamined life is not worth living’ and I've often found that clients who come in unsure whether they ‘really need this’ gain an enormous amount from the process of simply getting to know their own life more honestly.
If you're sitting on the fence, we can always start with a conversation and see whether now feels like the right time.
-
If you or someone you know is in immediate danger or experiencing a mental health crisis, please contact emergency services by calling 999 or go to your nearest A&E department.
You can also reach the Samaritans on 116 123 (free, 24 hours a day) or text SHOUT to 85258 for crisis text support.
Therapy is not an emergency service, and I am not able to provide support outside of scheduled sessions. If you are in acute distress, please reach out to the services above, they are there for exactly this.
