My Approach

First session

Before starting therapy, we will have an initial session to enable us to learn about each other. This will give us a chance to discuss what is bringing you to therapy, your expectations of the work, and how the process of therapy might unfold.

The initial session is also an opportunity for you to get a sense of my therapeutic style and decide whether I am the right therapist for you.

Continuing with me

If you decide you would like to engage in therapy with me, we will talk about what you would like to gain from therapy and discuss a contract that outlines the practicalities of our work going forward. This will include information for you (e.g. outlining the boundaries of confidentiality) and details of my terms (such as our agreed fee and my cancellation policy).

It is important to me that you feel that you are benefiting from therapy and throughout our work together we will regularly review how you are doing.

Duration of our work

The duration of psychotherapy can vary depending on what you want to gain from the work. Short-term work can be used to look at a specific issue, while longer-term therapy may allow you to address more complex or deep-seated issues.

Fees

I offer an initial session for £25.

Thereafter my fees are £75 per session.

I also operate a sliding scale of fees based on earnings and personal circumstances.

Each session lasts 50 minutes.

I currently have availability on Thursday afternoons between 12 noon and 5 pm.
