PRACTICALITIES
HOW TO START?
Starting therapy can be a troubling decision in itself, which can bring a mix of anxiety and hope.
I usually arrange for one or two initial sessions, as an opportunity for us to get to know each other and find out how we might work together in a way that is helpful. We can then agree how we would like to proceed. I see this is not so much as a formal assessment but rather as two-way conversation as I believe choosing a therapist that "matches" will be much more helpful in the long run.
WHAT TO EXPECT?
Sessions are normally held at a regular time every week and will be for 50 minutes. This regularity and continuity allows for a reliable and safe space to bring anything that needs to be there. I do not set an agenda because I believe that only you know what needs to come up. I will bring my own responses, reflections, interpretations and a range of therapeutic therapeutic techniques whenever I think they can help.
FEES
Regular sessions are offered at an upwards sliding scale starting from £70. I do occasionally have spaces at reduced rates (see also below).
Spaces are currently available for 3-times weekly sessions at a reduced rate.
