I help people to feel more OK through online therapy. I work with them to change things about themselves, their lives or their relationships.

I do this using video calls, over the phone and through email. So there’s no need to drive anywhere or to worry about social distancing or masks.

Are you…

• –wanting to make changes in your life but unsure how to go about it?
• –finding it difficult to say “No” and to put yourself first?
• –feeling upset by other people’s behaviour towards you?
• –struggling to recover after a difficult event in your life
• –worried that you are not behaving ‘normally’?

Would you like…

• –to be content to be yourself, exactly as you are, including all your ‘imperfections’?
• –to be clearer about what is OK and what is not OK for you and to be able to communicate this to others?
• –to be free from other people’s behaviour and judgements?
• –to learn how to live with the past, no matter what it is?
• –to feel more confident that you can do what is right for you.

There are differences in how it works depending on the communication method we choose

For both therapy using video and therapy by phone we have weekly appointments which are one hour long. We work together throughout the session. Sometimes there are silences and that is fine and expected. It is important to have the opportunity to reflect as we go along.

With therapy using email is also a weekly process but we each work in our own time. We use email but we are more writing letters to each other. My emails will include my responses to what you share in your email to me. I will make comments and ask you questions to support you to reflect and explore further.

What to expect in your weekly online therapy sessions

If you agree to continue with the sessions then we will meet weekly. Each session together we will spend our time exploring how you are in relation to your concerns. How you really are. We will think about what it is that you want to be different for you. I will check to make sure I am accurately understanding what you are telling me. I may ask further questions so that I can understand more. My aim is always to get a closer understanding of your world. I will not judge or compare this with mine or anyone else’s. The things you are concerned about might shift and change as we go along. I will be checking that we are still doing what matters most to you.

I will always allow you to go at your own pace and I will always follow your lead. The idea is that, through your therapy , things will begin to change for you for the better. Of course, that change is different for everyone and can take a few sessions or longer to begin. We will be reviewing and checking out how it’s going at regular intervals.

All bookings can be made online on my website.

You can book a free 20 minute introductory session with me to hear a little more and to ask any questions you have. I will be very happy to have a conversation with you.

Alternatively you can book an initial session, by video or phone.

In our first online therapy session we will need to agree some practical things. These include how many sessions to have, the timings for the sessions and so on. I will then ask you to tell me a little about what you are concerned about. We will discuss whether therapy with me is likely to be a useful approach for you.

I want you to get the right support. If I don’t feel that working with me is the right approach for you then I will say so. In that case I will support you to find an approach that suits you better.

We can then agree what to use the rest of the session to focus on. You will also have a chance to consider whether you would like to go ahead with another five sessions.
