FAQs

You can get in touch via my ‘let's talk some more’ form, by emailing, calling or texting me. We will have a free of charge initial phone call (20 mins or so) to understand a bit more about each other and to see if we are a good fit! I will also ask you some initial questions about what it is that is bringing you to therapy and what you are looking for. If I am the right therapist for you, we will book in our first session at a time that works for both of us, I'll send an agreeement before the session & we will chat this through as part of our first session.

As an integrative psychotherapist, I will tailor my approach to meet your needs, working at a pace that works for you. My integrative approach is predominantly made up of person-centred, psychodynamic and emotion-focused approaches. I can also draw on different approaches, techniques and use exercises within our work, depending on what may be helpful to you.
I work with individuals over the age of 18 and worth knowing that I don’t offer CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) within my approach.

Our first session is a chance to get to know each other a little and begin to understand what has brought you to therapy. It can be daunting coming to therapy and there is no expectation to ‘get it all out there’ in the first session. We will take it at an easy pace. I will send you a therapy agreement in advance, and we will go through this together, as well as giving you an opportunity to understand what you can expect from me and our work together.

Each session lasts 1 hour, and it is useful for us to work with each other weekly, at least to begin with.
Therapy is different for everyone, so there is no set timescale for our work together. We will spend some time working out your goals for therapy and review these together along the way. I offer short and longer term therapy, depending on what it is you need.

Our initial phone call is free of charge.
Please contact me to discuss session fees, so we can set a fee that works for us both.
A small number of concessions are available, please discuss this with me if you would like to understand if this is something I can offer you.

I offer online sessions via zoom, as well have a therapy room offering face to face sessions in Lymm, Cheshire at Libertas Therapy Rooms. I will provide all the details via email before our first session together.
