You can book by filling out our enquiry form on the website or by contacting us directly via email/phone. We’ll then arrange an initial consultation for 15 minutes at no charge to discuss your needs and see whether counselling with us might be right for you.

No — you can self-refer. There’s no need to have a GP or other professional refer you. We accept clients who reach out directly.

Each counselling session is charged at £50.00 and lasts approximately 50 minutes.
We offer a consistent and confidential therapeutic space at a fair and transparent rate, with no hidden fees. Sessions are typically held weekly, but this can be tailored to your needs following our initial consultation.

Life can be unpredictable, and I understand that sometimes plans need to change. If you need to cancel or reschedule a session, please give as much notice as possible.
Cancellations with more than 24 hours’ notice: No charge.
Cancellations within 24 hours: A 50% fee may apply, unless in cases of emergency or illness.
Missed sessions without notice: The full session fee may be charged.
I aim to offer the same courtesy and will provide at least 48 hours’ notice if I ever need to cancel or reschedule.

Yes. We adhere to all relevant legal and professional standards (e.g. confidentiality codes, GDPR). Your details and discussions are private and will only be shared under certain conditions such as:
You give explicit consent.
We are required by law (e.g. court order).
There is imminent risk of harm to yourself or others.
In all cases, I will attempt to speak with you first before sharing any information, unless there is an immediate risk and time does not allow.
 - 
      
        
      
      
This depends on your needs and goals. Some people see benefit in just a few sessions; others may work over months. We’ll discuss this at initial assessment, and review progress every 6-8 weeks.

At present, I offer online counselling sessions via secure video call. This allows flexibility and accessibility, especially for those with busy schedules or limited travel options.
In the future, I aim to offer face-to-face sessions, and will update clients when this becomes available. You're welcome to begin therapy online and transition to in-person when the option becomes available, if preferred.
 - 
      
        
      
      
We’ll ask about your history, current concerns, what you want to get out of counselling.
Discuss what therapy approach might suit you.
Set up expectations (frequency of sessions, duration, confidentiality, etc.).
Agree together on goals or outcomes.
 - 
      
        
      
      
If you need to take a break, we can discuss how best to pause and re‑start. If you feel you aren’t connecting with the therapist, we can explore options for switching to someone else who might be a better match.
