You don’t need to have it all worked out before you get in touch.
Most people arrive unsure where to begin, and that is fine. We start with whatever is on your mind and take it from there.
What I can offer is my full attention, a space to be heard, and time to think and explore.

How starting therapy works
Three small steps, taken at your pace.
An introductory call
A short chat to see if we get on.
A first session
We explore what brings you here.
We decide together
Carry on, pause or stop. Your choice.
A minute for yourself
Name what you’re feeling, or simply breathe.
Start with the feeling that is closest, even if it is not exact.

How do you feel now?
Whenever you feel ready
It starts with a chat by phone.
Same-day reply
Questions people ask
Three things people most often ask before they start. Something else? Ask me directly.
How do I know if counselling is right for me?
You don’t need to be sure. The free call is there so we can talk it through, and it’s fine to decide it isn’t for you, or isn’t for now.
What happens on the free call?
We talk for about 15 minutes by phone. You tell me a little about what is going on, I explain how I work, and you can ask whatever you like. There is no pressure to book anything.
How many sessions will I need?
It varies. You can come for a set number of sessions or leave it open-ended, and we talk about which suits you. We review how it is going as we work, and you can stop whenever you choose.
