Features

Availability

I work Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 12 pm-8pm, Saturdays 11am-3pm online or in-person meetings. 

I have a small practice, so my diary, at times, may be quickly full of regular weekly appointments. You can be placed on the waiting list; I'll be in touch as soon as I have availability.

About me and my therapy practice

I am professionally trained in Psychodynamic Counselling and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). I am an Accredited member of BACP and Senior Accredited Registrant of NCPS,  National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, SNCPS (Acc.) I am a Professional Member of ACTO, the Association for Counselling and Therapy Online. In the last seven years, I have held different positions in the third sector and private practice.

I work collaboratively, which means we will decide what is best for you and how.

Once you have contacted me, we will agree on a good time for both of us to have a conversation to know a bit more about each other and think together about whether we would like to have the first session in person,  via video Skype or WhatsApp facetime;  we will evaluate whether to meet in person if allowed and beneficial. We will also discuss how to think about a safe and confidential space for you to have therapy if this is online.

Practice description

The way I work is to combine your needs and goals for therapy with my experience, the most recent research, your preferences and life circumstances. We will consider all those elements and identify what may be more appropriate and effective for you.

It can be challenging to predict how long therapy will take; it really depends on your needs, situation and story. We can work for a brief time or a longer time. Occasionally, we may decide to chat and review where we are.

I offer Psychodynamic and CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) and am informed by Existential Counselling.

In my practice, I am sex-positive and hold an affirmative approach to LGBTQIA+, agender and genderfluid. I am also neurodivergent-affirmative. I am queer fluid. 

I also offer pet-bereavement counselling services & counselling to those impacted by the alcohol issues of a loved one. 

I work with Insurance: AXA, BUPA, AVIVA, WPA. Please check fees for insurance vary, and I will guide you through the process. I will invoice your insurer directly after receiving some information from you. 

My first session

The first 2 or 3 sessions are a bit different from Therapy. 

They help us to decide to think about your reasons, expectations, hopes and goals for therapy. We will evaluate whether Online Therapy or In-person Therapy is the right choice for you. We will both have a discussion to decide whether working together will help you, how and how long or if other services/professionals may better help you; in this case, we will discuss the various options available to you, and I will support you in this. 

If we agree to work together, we will set up a time and day for regular weekly meetings; we will have clear written Terms of Engagement.
