Where do I start?
Once you have contacted me, we will agree on a suitable time for a free initial 30-minute session, by phone or online. It allows you to ask me questions and see how you feel, and gain insight into what brings you to therapy.
​
How many sessions will I need, and how long are they?
Sessions last for 50-minutes, we will meet on the same day and at the same time each week. Therapy can be for a set duration of time or open-ended, depending upon your needs. I recommend that we start by agreeing to meet for 6-weeks before reviewing our work together. We will discuss this during our initial meeting.
​
How much does it cost?
I charge £65 per session for individuals and £85 per session for couples. Payment methods will be discussed and agreed upon during our initial meeting.
​
Can I see you every two weeks instead of weekly?
I see my clients every week, excluding holidays, etc., which has the best results. I do not offer bi-weekly sessions at this time.
​
Do you work with children or couples?
Currently, I work exclusively with individuals aged 18 and over. I also offer support for couples and relationships across the full spectrum of gender and sexuality. For more information, please feel free to get in touch.
​
Is it confidential?
​
I offer you a safe, non-judgemental space where you can speak freely and confidentially. As a member of the UKCP, NCPS and BACP, I abide by their ethical frameworks and guidelines.
​
Do you work online?
​
Yes, I work exclusively online.
​
​Do you accept insurance?
​
I am registered with Aviva, AXA and Vitality in the UK.
​
If you have private health insurance, please contact your provider directly to confirm that your policy covers counselling or psychotherapy sessions. Once you have authorisation, feel free to get in touch and we can discuss the next steps.
​
If you’re unsure about the process, I’m very happy to talk it through with you.
​
Do I need counselling or psychotherapy?
Generally speaking, counselling tends to be short-term work, focussing upon a specific problem. Psychotherapy is usually longer-term work, where we may go into greater depth to explore relational patterns and emotions. I offer both of these options, and we will explore your needs during our initial sessions.
​
I'm embarrassed but want to talk about something.
Like any relationship, it can take time to build trust with a therapist. I invite you to share whatever you feel you need when you feel safe and ready to do so. If you are struggling, I welcome you telling me so that I can support you.
​
What does therapy help with?
​
There are many reasons that people come to therapy. The BACP produce a comprehensive list that is bigger than the one I have listed on this site. More details can be found here, or feel free to contact me for further advice.
​
Where do you work?
​
I work online from my private office in the south of the U.K.
