What is psychotherapy, and how can it help me?

Psychotherapy is a talking therapy that helps individuals explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviours in a safe, confidential space. It can support you in managing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, and other personal challenges.

What issues do you specialise in?

I work with a range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, bereavement, and personal growth. Each session is tailored to your unique needs.

What happens in a therapy session?

During a session, we will explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences at a pace that feels right for you. My approach is integrative, meaning I draw from different therapeutic methods to support you in the best way possible.

How long does therapy last?

The length of therapy varies for each individual. Some people benefit from short-term therapy (6–12 sessions), while others find longer-term support more helpful. We can discuss your goals and review your progress as we go.

How often will I need sessions?

Most clients start with weekly sessions to maintain consistency and progress. However, the frequency can be adjusted to suit your needs.

How much do sessions cost, and do you offer concessions?

My session fees for individuals are £75, and for Couples/Relationship therapy it’s £100. Sessions that are longer than the standard therapy hour will be priced based on duration and type of therapy. I offer a limited number of concessionary rates for students, low-income individuals, or those in financial difficulty. Please contact me to discuss your circumstances.

Is therapy confidential?

Yes, everything we discuss remains confidential. However, there are a small number of legal and ethical exceptions, such as if I believe you or someone else is at serious risk of harm. I will explain confidentiality fully in our first session.

How do I know if therapy is right for me?

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward, therapy can provide a supportive space to explore your concerns. An initial consultation can help determine if it’s the right fit for you.

Do you offer online or in-person sessions?

I offer both online and in-person sessions to provide flexibility. Online therapy can be just as effective as face-to-face sessions, and I use a secure platform for video calls.

How do I book a session?
