I’d like to explore working with you, what are the next steps?
I offer a free, brief introductory chat which is an opportunity for us to get to know each other a little bit, and learn whether I am the right therapist for you. We can explore what brings you to therapy and any goals you might have for the end of our work, some sense of how I work etc. You may then decide to go ahead and book an initial session.
I work both online and in-person.
What kind of issues and concerns are you able to help with?
The clients who have worked successfully with me arrive with a host of issues in their lives: anxiety, depression, trauma (c/PTSD), bereavement, issues concerning identity, cultural adaptation, meaning, spirituality and life transitions to name a few.
They describe my therapy space as warm, empathic and non-judgmental, and feel confident undertaking an enquiry into their lives with as much honesty and openness as possible.
How many sessions do I need?
I work on a long-term, open-ended basis, with reviews built in every 6-8 weeks. You may want to agree to a fixed number of sessions at the outset (usually six or twelve) or you may choose to leave it open-ended, depending on your needs. This can be discussed in the initial session.
How frequent are the sessions?
For therapy to be ‘successful’, building a relationship between the client and therapist is key. This means attending sessions regularly, on a weekly basis, usually at the same time and day each week. Each session runs for 50 minutes.
What are your fees? Do you offer reduced rates?
I charge £80-100 per session, and fee is payable by cash or bank transfer.
I have a small number of slots available for clients who are unable to afford my fee. Please do enquire if this is the case for you.
I am registered with the following Insurers: AXA, Vitality, Aviva, Aetna, WPA.
Do you have a cancellation policy?
I charge for missed sessions or any sessions cancelled or rearranged with less than 48 hours’ notice.
