  • The first step is a free consultation via phonecall or Google Meet. This is not an assessment or an intake interview. It is a conversation, an opportunity to talk about what has brought you here, ask any questions you have about how I work, and get a genuine sense of whether working together feels right.

    There is no obligation to proceed afterwards. Many people find the consultation useful simply as a way of thinking through what they are looking for, even if they decide to look elsewhere. If we do decide to work together, we will agree a regular weekly time and begin from there.

    To arrange a consultation, use the contact button on this page to email me directly. I aim to respond within 48 hours.

  • All initial consultations are free.

    For individual therapy, all 50 minute assessment and follow up weekly sessions are £85 for online sessions. I am currently not offering in-person sessions.

    For relationship and couple therapy:

    • Assessment £200: this includes one joint session and two 50 minute individual sessions.

    • All weekly 75 minute joint sessions thereafter are £130.

  • We will review how things are going regularly, and the length and pace of the work is always something we decide together. But relational and depth-oriented therapy for complex experiences is generally not short term work. These experiences tend to have deep roots and are generally not well served by approaches that focus on symptom management over a fixed number of sessions.

    Most people begin to notice something shifting within the first few months, and I’d recommend an initial period of 3-6 months in therapy.

    For couples and relationship therapy, I usually initially contract for an agreed initial number of sessions between 6-12 sessions (not including assessment) and review progress thereafter.

  • All individual and couples sessions are conducted online once a week.

    Unfortunately I do not have in-person availability at the moment.
