Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Do you offer a consultation call?

Over the years I’ve offered short consultation calls, but what I’ve found is that in just ten minutes people naturally begin sharing the details of their difficulties. Even with clear boundaries, it’s hard to contain something so important in such a brief time.

I believe these conversations deserve more than a quick call. A full therapy session gives us the space we need to explore your situation properly, understand what’s happening for you, and think together about the best way forward. This way, you’re not rushed, and I can offer you the care and attention your story deserves.

So rather than consultation calls, I invite you to book a full hour. It means we can begin with the depth and focus that therapeutic work requires, and you’ll leave knowing we’ve had the time to do the work thoughtfully.

In a small number of cases where I cannot offer what you require, I will usually be able to suggest an alternative therapist with the right skills, so you’re not left without options.

What kinds of difficulties do you work with?

I work exclusively with adults and most of my clients are 30+. My specialist areas of expertise are:

  • Psychological trauma
  • Anxiety
  • Self esteem
  • Physical health

I do not work with the following difficulties as these are outside of my areas of expertise:

  • Children and young people
  • ADHD and autism assessments
  • Substance and alcohol dependence
  • Relational difficulties and personality disorders
  • Severe mental health difficulties and/or risk to self that requires the input of a mental health team.

Please note I do not offer a crisis service. If you are concerned about your mental health please contact your general practitioner or local crisis service.

What is your availability for sessions?
