Frequently asked questions

No. Many people start with a general sense that something isn’t right, or simply want space to think. We can work out together what would help.

Sessions last 50 minutes and usually take place at the same time each week, which helps build a steady rhythm. We will agree the frequency together before we begin.

Yes. What you share stays between us, within the limits set out in the BACP Ethical Framework. The main exception is if I believe you or someone else is at serious risk of harm, and I will explain this clearly at the start.

Yes. I work with adults across the UK and internationally by secure video. Many people find online sessions just as helpful as meeting in person, and you can switch between the two.

The initial consultation is an opportunity to talk about what has brought you to therapy, what you’re experiencing and what you would like support with. It also gives you the chance to ask questions, get a sense of how I work and decide whether therapy with me feels like the right fit. It lasts 50 minutes, like a regular session.

I work with adults, individually and as couples. I support people with anxiety, panic attacks, OCD, trauma, depression, grief, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, stress and burnout, and life transitions, and I work with neurodivergent adults.

No. I am an integrative psychotherapist and a registered member of the BACP. Psychotherapists and psychologists follow different training routes; the Guides section has an article explaining the difference.

Yes. Therapy can sit alongside support from your GP or other health professionals. It is helpful to let me know about any other support you have.

Therapy is not an emergency service. If you are in crisis, call 999 or go to A&E, call NHS 111, or contact Samaritans on 116 123 (free, 24/7).
