Starting Therapy

Beginning therapy can feel daunting, so I offer two ways to take the first step - each fully confidential and without any obligation to continue.

Two Ways to Begin

You’re welcome to book a free 15-minute video or telephone call. This brief conversation will allow you to outline what has brought you to therapy and allow us both to get a sense of whether working together feels right.

Alternatively, you can choose a full initial consultation of 50–60 minutes for which I will charge in accordance with my standard rates.

This consultation will give us more time to explore your thoughts and feelings, discuss your goals, and consider whether ongoing counselling or psychotherapy might be helpful. It’s also an opportunity for you to ask any questions about therapy and how I work, and to get a deeper sense of what it would be like for us to work together.

Session Frequency

If you do decide to continue, regular sessions are 50 minutes long and usually take place weekly, or twice weekly where requested- at the same day and time each week. This applies to both counselling and psychotherapy.

Fees & Insurance

Fees operate on a sliding scale, based on income & circumstances and are discussed openly during initial contact or consultation. I also accept those covered by Alliance, Aviva, AXA Health, Cigna, Vitality and WPA.

Contact me

If you would like to book a 15 minute video call or initial consultation or have any other questions then please contact me.

All correspondence is entirely confidential.
