I will try and work with you to accommodate your needs around when works best for you to meet.  This will mean finding a regular day and time which is likely to work on an ongoing basis.

I understand work, home and other life commitments sometimes mean you might need a little flexibility.  If you are looking for a therapist that tries to offer that get in touch and we can talk further about what you need.

I provide both time long term Psychotherapy and shorter term Counselling. I have worked as a Counsellor at the mental health charity Mind, and also with long term clients at the Minster Centre. The majority of my experience is working in Private Practice as a Psychotherapist and Counsellor.

There is no charge for an initial phone consultation so if you have questions, want to find out more for the future or want to book an appointment now please do get in touch.

Having that initial 20 minute conversation over the phone gives me the opportunity to find out more about you and why you are seeking therapeutic support at the moment, you can ask any questions you may have at this time and we can discuss the practicalities of meeting.

Your first session usually picks up on what we started to discuss during our initial call.

It's a chance for me to find out more about you and how you are feeling, to talk about what's happening for you in your life right now, but also to consider some of what you have been experiencing in the longer term and to begin to consider some of your history.   We also talk about what you would like to get from your sessions and your expectations of what changes you would like to experience.

Of course a first session allows you to experience what it might be like to work with me and it is a chance for both of us to work out whether it feels right to continue that work together.

In that regard there is no obligation following your initial session and we can work together on thinking through what might be right for you.
