How I work:
Your journey
1. Book a free consultation prior starting the work.
The 30-minute consultation, preferably a video call, is for us to discuss your goals for
therapy, explore how I can help, and ensure I'm the right fit for you. It's also an opportunity to
ask any questions about my work.
Your Investment
2. Your investment
Session prices vary based on whether you're seeking individual or couples therapy
(50 minutes per session):
-
Individuals: £80
-
Couples: £100
Save 10% by pre-paying for a block of four or more sessions.
Ask about my limited concession slots if you have a low income.
Agreement and information needed
If you decide to begin therapy (individually or as a couple), we'll first provide basis for our work. This involves completing two essential documents:
-
Your Details: Basic information (name, address, GP, medication, etc).
-
Client Agreement: The terms and conditions of our arrangement (read, sign, and date).
Note: Each person in a couple must complete their own forms.
Your first session
Building on our first consultation, the first few sessions are dedicated to contracting —getting clear on your primary goals for therapy.
We'll use these goals to guide our work, though we can always address new issues or shift focus as needed.
I'll also check in regularly to ensure you're satisfied with our process.
Individual sessions for couples
Following our first joint session, each person has the option of a separate, individual session (charged at the couple's rate).
​
This one-off, one-to-one time allows me to understand your unique perspectives and needs within the relationship, giving each of you an equal voice.
​
This session acknowledges that you are two distinct people with different experiences. It's a chance for you to be heard, find clarity, and for me to understand what each of you brings to the relationship.
My commitment to transparency is key: I will not keep secrets that impact your partner's well-being, and all email communication will include your partner.
How many sessions will I need?
I aim to work with you for as long as you find our sessions beneficial. Though progress varies, we'll generally plan for an initial six sessions, reviewing our work every six sessions thereafter to confirm we're still meeting your needs.
​
The necessary trust and understanding required to explore deep issues (like childhood, culture, and beliefs) takes time to build and untangle. Remember, you can stop therapy whenever you wish, but I suggest giving notice so we can use a final or more sessions to honour and process our time together, the number of sessions before ending depend on how long we have been working together.

How can I make the most of our time together?
It takes courage to talk about difficult intimate issues, which often bring up feelings of shame, pain, or anger. I invite you to be honest and brave; I'm here to support you with knowledge and compassion.
​
While honesty can feel risky, only share what you're comfortable with—everything you tell me will be heard and valued. Remember, your dedication to this process is key: make yourself a priority. You deserve to feel safe, confident, and fulfilled. The more time and energy you put in, the more you will get out of this.
​
You deserve to be happy, loved, and worthy. I will offer you support and compassion all the way.
