Therapy Consultations
​​​​​
It is not unusual for people interested in therapy to be self-aware but feel stuck repeating patterns that cause them difficulties and distress. It is also not uncommon for people to have considered therapy for some time, feeling unsure whether it could help. Others have had some experience with therapy and consider more extensive psychotherapy once their circumstances have become more settled for sustained reflection.
​
Through thoughtful collaboration, therapy can help people identify and explore their thoughts, concerns, fears, feelings, and distressing beliefs about themselves and often their relationships. Therapy can also help people reflect on how their past experiences may influence their current lives and what they may need to change to live more meaningfully.
​​​​​​
​Increased awareness of personal difficulties, interpersonal dynamics and other issues that are harder to understand without outside help can provide clarity, relief, and a sense of agency, empowering people to make constructive changes in their lives and relationships.
​​​​​​​​
Sessions
Each session lasts 50 minutes and takes place on the same day and at the same time each week, either in person or online.
​
Sessions can be weekly or more frequent, depending on your specific needs, preferences, and mutual availability.
​​​​​​​​​
Fees​​
Starting at £70 per weekly session and £70 per initial consultation.
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

How to Get Started
To get started, please either email me or use the contact form below to send an enquiry. I aim to respond within 24 hours, Monday through Friday.​​
​​​​​​
We can then agree to arrange an initial consultation. This is an opportunity to meet and discuss the issues that have led you to seek therapy, as well as the possibility of working together.
The meeting will give you a sense of what it might be like to work with me and help you determine whether I could be a good fit for you as a therapist.
​​​
If you would like to speak with me before setting up an appointment, I am happy to have a brief (15 to 20-minute) telephone conversation.
​
I have space to take a new client in late June or early July 2025. I will likely have another space in early September 2025.
