Yes, I offer a complimentary 15 minute introductory call. This is an opportunity to briefly discuss what brings you to therapy. Ask any initial questions you may have and whether working together feels right for you.

The first session is a step for us in getting to know one another. We’ll explore what has brought you to therapy. Some of the experiences and difficulties you may be facing and what you hope to gain from therapy.

There is no expectation for you to share everything straight away. We can take things at a pace that feels right for you.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), is an approach that explores the relationship between our thoughts, feelings and behaviors. This approach helps us not only understand in how certain thinking patterns and behaviors contribute to emotional difficulty but also looks at developing alternative ways to of coping including developing practical strategies and different ways of thinking and behaving.

Psychodynamic therapy explores how our past experiences, relationships and emotional patterns can influence the way we think, feel and relate to others in the present.

It can help us to develop a deeper understanding of ourselves, including feelings or patterns that may be subconscious and not immediately obvious. The aim is not to simply revisit the past. But to understand how our experiences may continue to shape our present lives and relationships.

I believe therapy should be responsive to your individual needs rather than following a single approach rigidly.

The approach can be tailored depending on what brings you to therapy and what your hopes for therapy might be.

Confidentiality is central to the therapeutic relationship. Information shared during sessions is treated with care and privacy.

There are some circumstances in which confidentiality may be limited, for example where there may be serious concerns about safety. These boundaries can be discussed in more depth before therapy begins.

Individual therapy sessions are £70.

I also offer 15 minute introductory consultation, giving us an opportunity to briefly discuss your needs and whether working together might be a good fit.

Sessions last 50 minutes.

Sessions take place remotely via a secure video platform. Before our first appointment, I’ll provide you with the joining details so that you can access the session easily

Sessions typically take place weekly. Regular sessions can help establish continuity and allow us to develop the therapeutic work over time. We can discuss the frequency that feels most appropriate based on your circumstances and needs.

There is no set timeframe. Some people come to therapy to work through a particular difficulty for a set period of time, while others choose to engage in longer term therapy to explore themselves and experiences. We can work together and reflect regularly on how the work is progressing and what feels helpful.
