Let’s Talk First
Before we start working together, I like to have a short, free conversation. It gives you a chance to ask questions and get a feel for how I work, and it lets us both check that this is the right fit.
What happens next?
-
We talk for about half an hour, on a call. You can tell me as much or as little as you like about what’s bringing you here, and ask me anything about how I work. It isn’t a therapy session, and nothing is expected of you.
-
That’s completely fine, and it’s what this conversation is for. If I think someone else would suit you better, I’ll say so, and I’ll point you towards other support where I can.
-
If we both feel it’s right, we’ll find a regular time for your first session. I’ll send you a therapy agreement beforehand, so you know how we’ll work together.
-
Sessions are £70 for 50 minutes. I also have a limited number of sliding scale places (£50 to £65) if you’re on a lower income, a student, or facing financial uncertainty. Just tell me when we speak.
-
Outdoors in nature, in person, or online, depending on what suits you. We can also mix them, so some weeks you might walk and other weeks meet indoors or online.
-
No. Talking is always enough. Movement, breath, writing and creative tools are there if they help, and you can leave them alone.
-
I ask for 48 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or move a session.
-
Yes. What you tell me stays between us, with the usual limits around safety, which I’ll explain in the therapy agreement before we start.
