Services

Short and Long-Term Therapy

I offer short-term therapy working agreements, which can be adapted if required. I ususally recommend a minimum of twelve weekly sessions, as I have found this to be more supportive to fully engage in the therapeutic process. Longer-term therapy can be open-ended or time-bound. Whether you wish to start with just a briefer session block or with a longer-term arrangement, we can review this together at any time.  Whilst I usually work face-to-face, I also offer online counselling and psychotherapy (via Zoom), as well as therapy outdoors if this feels appropriate and beneficial.

Individuals and Couples

I work with individuals and couples. I refer to the term “couple” in its wider sense – this may involve two partners in a romantic relationship and also family members, work colleagues or friends. I offer counselling and mediation, aiming to get to the root cause of your issues. My role is to hold the therapeutic space for you to become the expert of your own relational issues.

Fees 

Charges are £100 for weekly sessions (50 mins’ duration). The initial consultation lasts a full hour. Couples’ sessions are £130 per session (per 60 mins).

Ethics

My professional practice is bound by the Ethical Principles and Code of Professional Conduct of the UKCP (United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy). Any serious complaints about my pratice would need to be taken up with the UKCP (see link):  http://www.psychotherapy.org.uk
