My approach
Hello. If you’re wondering about whether therapy is something you’d like to enter into, let’s talk. A 15-minute telephone call (free of charge) is the first step to getting a sense of whether I might be able to provide the type of therapy that will help you.
If, after this initial telephone conversation, it feels right to continue, we would arrange a time to meet in person to discuss your difficulties in detail and give you a chance to experience therapy. I ask that you book two initial therapy sessions with me, at the same time of the week, one week apart, to get a sense of what it’s actually like to work with me. In your second session we will think together about whether we’re a good fit.
These initial sessions last 50 minutes and cost £75 each.
If, after these initial sessions, I don’t think I can offer what you need, I will let you know and advise you on what might be more suitable.
I offer weekly long-term therapy and brief therapy in 12-week blocks. I work 1:1 with individuals, and although I welcome people from all backgrounds, I have considerable experience working with people whose childhoods were marked by trauma and abuse. I’m interested in how our past relationships and experiences impact our present life and I believe in people’s capacity to change.
