Psychotherapy is not an exact science, so the most important thing is to find someone you feel comfortable talking with, someone you feel you could trust and be fully open with.

I always encourage clients to book an initial session to see how they feel talking to me. There is no obligation to continue after that session.

The aim of the initial session is for us to get to know each other, and for me to learn about your main difficulty, and what you hope to gain from therapy. You’ll leave this session with an idea of how I can help you and what that help will look like.

Sessions are typically 50 min. Occasionally, an extended 90 minute session may be recommended (e.g. trauma focused work, exposure work for phobias, etc).

This depends on the issue bringing you to therapy. For CBT therapy, I usually recommend a minimum of 6 sessions (excluding assessment) for you to experience progress. Most people need between 12-15 sessions, but I can provide a better idea following your initial session.

Regular attendance is important to ensure you fully benefit from therapy. Weekly sessions are usually recommended and, when possible, the same time will be reserved for you each week.

Yes, I can offer therapy via Zoom, Teams, telephone or Face to Face.

I do not, but we can discuss if this may be beneficial for you. You will need to speak to your GP or a psychiatrist for any medication related queries.
