My practice hours are Monday to Friday with evening slots available.

Please do contact me for more information. 

I provide psychotherapy from an attachment-based approach within a relational psychodynamic model to help clients improve their relationships and their life quality. I believe the effectiveness of therapy is based on three complementary elements:

Firstly, the understanding and insight into repeating patterns both current and past. 

The second key element is the healing capacity of a positive and collaborative relationship between the therapist and the client. 

I provide psychotherapy from an attachment-based approach within a relational psychodynamic model to help clients improve the quality of their relationships and their life. 

In essence, I believe the effectiveness of psychotherapy is based on three complementary elements.

 The first is the understanding and insight that emerges during therapy about repeating patterns in a client's relationships, both current and past. We all carry an internal working model of relationships and often find ourselves repeating patterns in our dealings with other people. 

The second key element of psychotherapy centres on the healing capacity of a positive and collaborative relationship between client and therapist. 

The third element is the use of researched and clinically-proven skills and methods such as EMDR or IFS to help the mind heal trauma, access necessary resources to deal with issues in the present and create new thoughts and feeling states. 

Together, these complementary strands of psychotherapy create the conditions in which meaningful change and personal development can take place.

I aim to provide a safe and supportive setting for sharing difficult personal experiences and feelings. I practise safe, expert talking therapy marked by curiosity, respect and kindness.

I offer online short-term counselling and longer-term psychotherapy tailored to suit your specific needs. 

I use a professional platform called Remotemdr. 

How frequent are the sessions?

Once-weekly sessions are the norm, although there may be times when it is clinically appropriate to have sessions more or less frequently.

How long are the sessions?

The sessions are 50 minutes in length and take place at the same time on the same day each week.

How much does psychotherapy cost?

The charge for the initial consultation is £100. Following this, our fees range from £85 to £150 per session depending on time of day, frequency and circumstances.

What happens if I have to cancel a regular session for an unavoidable reason?

To maintain the regularity and continuity of your sessions for the duration of your therapy, payment is due for all sessions, including any you cannot attend. However, whenever possible, I will aim to offer a replacement session.

You are not charged when you take holidays.

How soon will I know if psychotherapy is helping me?

After three or four sessions you will probably have a good sense of whether the therapy is likely to be of benefit. It is often helpful to have a review with your therapist at this point to decide whether to continue.

How long does psychotherapy take?

There is no set time limit on psychotherapy. Some people feel they have gained significant benefit from therapy after a few weeks or months and decide to stop at this point, especially if they have been going through a difficult or challenging period and this period passes. Other people continue in therapy for longer in order to work on deeper and more difficult issues that have been troubling them over a long period.

How do I end psychotherapy?

Of course, you may end the therapy at any time. When either you or your therapist feel it might be time to draw therapy to an end, it is helpful for you to discuss it fully together so you can make a decision that has been carefully considered and explored.

At the initial consultation, we will explore your current issues, enquire about your history and discuss whether a period of psychotherapy might be of benefit to you. 

This initial appointment is also an opportunity for you to ask questions and find out more about the therapeutic process. You and your therapist can then decide whether to continue working together.
