Everything you need to know before you get in touch.

I charge £55 per session. Sessions are 50 minutes, held weekly via Google Meet. Payment is due 24 hours before each session. I accept bank transfer.

I ask for 48 hours notice to cancel or reschedule a session. Cancellations with less than 48 hours notice will be charged at the full session fee.

If something has brought you to this page, that's usually enough of a reason to have a conversation. The introductory call is a low-pressure way to find out, you're not committing to anything by getting in touch.
Psychotherapy qualification requires four years of academic study followed by hundreds of documented client hours, a process that takes years and cannot be rushed. Private practice is only permitted once a trainee has been formally signed off by both their supervisor and their head of institute.
I was signed off for private practice over a year ago and have accumulated over 300 client hours. I work under regular clinical supervision, a requirement of good ethical practice for all therapists, and my UKCP registration means I'm held to the same professional and ethical standards.
Yes. Loneliness, difficulty making or keeping friendships, feeling like an outsider, these are relationship questions too.
It happens occasionally. If we lose connection during a session, I'll call or message you straight away and we'll pick up by phone or reschedule. It's rarely a problem, but it's always worth having your phone nearby just in case.
Collaborative, honest, and straightforward.
Sessions are unhurried, there's no agenda you need to arrive with and no right way to start. I'll follow your lead, staying curious about what you bring and gently drawing attention to things that seem significant.

Research consistently shows that online therapy is as effective as in-person for most people and most kinds of work. Some people actually find it easier to open up from their own space.
That's completely fine, most people feel a little unsure at first about what to say or how it works. There's no right way to do it. We'll find the pace together.
Yes. Early experiences shape how we attach, trust, and protect ourselves in adulthood, and those patterns don't stay in the past. Research into Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) shows how far-reaching that impact can be across all areas of life.
Everything you share in sessions is confidential. The only exceptions are the standard ethical ones, if I had serious concerns about your safety or someone else's, I would discuss that with you first wherever possible. I'd encourage you to find a private space for sessions where you won't be overheard.
Yes. You're never obligated to continue. That said, endings in therapy are worth taking seriously. Many people have never experienced a planned, considered ending: relationships that broke down suddenly, bereavements, family ruptures where there was no closure. The ending of therapy can be, in itself, a meaningful piece of work. I'd always encourage a conversation rather than simply stopping.
