One-to-one sessions

To make an appointment you may contact me directly. You do not need to be referred by a psychiatrist or your GP. However, if you are claiming through your private health insurance company it may be necessary for a referral. You are encouraged to verify this before making an appointment. 

An initial consultation is an opportunity to discuss what brings you along for therapy or coaching, what your hopes and expectations are. I will then be able to recommend a way forward for you - an appropriate therapeutic approach, based both on my clinical experience and knowledge of research evidence. However, collaboration is central to my way of working and I am always keen to respect my clients’ preferred way of addressing their difficulties.

The number of sessions depends upon your goals for our work together, and whether we go down a therapy (medium to long-term work) or coaching (short-term) route. This is something we will agree on together during our first contacts. 

The therapy I offer tends to be exploratory and open ended, offering a deep dive into the rules you’ve been operating with, how they came to be and in-depth support in moving forwards. Coaching is brief, focussed work identifying your existing rules and considering ways to achieve sustainable change. Coaching might be suitable if you’re going through a life transition or have been in psychotherapy before and are now looking for a targeted intervention.

Attending an initial consultation does not commit you to ongoing 1:1 work. Many people are unsure about starting therapy/coaching, and an initial appointment can help with making that decision. It will be your choice whether to book another appointment, or take some time to consider whether I am the right therapist for you. Additionally, I am always happy to have a brief introductory call to address any questions or concerns. 

Research consistently shows that the relationship between a client and therapist is central in facilitating change. With this in mind, I endeavour to provide a safe, non-judgemental and empathic environment in which my clients can explore their difficulties. I always encourage people to consider whether I am a ‘good fit’ for them, and it can be helpful to shop around for a therapist with whom you feel at ease. 

I understand you may be concerned to know whether what you speak about in therapy or coaching will remain confidential. From the first contact, any information a client gives me is treated with the utmost confidentiality. During the initial consultation, issues of confidentiality are discussed, agreed and any questions answered. Please also see my Privacy Policy.

Therapy sessions are currently charged at £130 and are reviewed annually. Fees for coaching packages are available on request. 

Sessions cancelled with less than forty-eight hours' notice will be charged at the normal session rate. There is no charge for sessions cancelled with more than forty-eight hours' notice.

My practice is based across two central London locations, both with excellent transport links. I also offer sessions online.
