Registration
I am registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC) and the Foundation for Psychotherapy and Counselling (FPC).
Therapy
It is not unusual for people interested in therapy to be self-aware but find themselves repeating less conscious patterns that lead them to experience difficulties.
Many people consider therapy for some time, feeling uncertain whether talking to someone other than friends or family could be of help.
Others may have experienced brief talk therapy or counselling at university and are now seeking private psychotherapy, as their circumstances have become more stable, allowing for deeper reflection.
Therapy can improve understanding of difficult feelings, experiences, relationship challenges, and other aspects of life. Therapy can also foster a renewed sense of agency, empowering you to make changes in order to live a more meaningful, fulfilling life.
How I work
As a therapist, I believe in establishing a respectful professional relationship with my clients that facilitates thoughtful exploration of sensitive and troubling issues over time.
I aim to listen attentively and communicate mindfully to help you address the areas of difficulty that prompted you to seek my help.
Sessions
Each session lasts 50 minutes and takes place at the same time each week.
I provide sessions once weekly and more frequently in person and online.
If you become interested in more frequent sessions during your therapy, we can discuss this option. However, I cannot guarantee mutually suitable times will be available.
Fees
Fees start at £70 per session.
How 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.
Initial Appointment
The initial appointment is an opportunity to discuss the issues that led you to contact me and to consider the possibility of working together.
We may meet two or three times before deciding on the way forward, depending on the circumstances. These meetings will give you a sense of what it might be like to work with me and help us determine whether I am the right fit as a therapist for you.
If you would like to speak with me before setting up an appointment, I am happy to have a 15 to 20-minute telephone conversation.
...........
Please note that I do not currently offer therapy to counselling or psychotherapy trainees; however, I work with qualified clinicians and practitioners from both the NHS and the private sector.
Furthermore, I do not provide therapy services or consultancy through insurance companies, Employee Assistance Programmes (EAPs), or therapy subscription platforms.
