What Can You Expect?

If you've not had therapy before, Mind's page on what to expect outlines some of the things to know.

Sessions with me typically last 60 minutes and are one-to-one.
I work in person in LS6, or online with Google Meet.
I work on a weekly, fortnightly and on an ad-hoc basis for those unable to commit to the same spot each week.
My normal price is £50, but I also offer a limited number of reduced cost slots if the default price is an obstacle to you, so please let me know if that's the case. I accept cash or bank transfers and take payments per session.

How Do I Work?

My practice is a person-centred, but systemic-aware style, where my focus is empowering you and encouraging your autonomy as an individual, as well as acknowledging how we affect and are affected by the systems we inhabit, be that relationships, family, work, society. The work will place you as the expert of your own life and experiences, and together we'll look at how you want to be living, and what is stopping you from doing so.

I offer space to be heard and seen, and to explore the issues keeping you from living how you want to live. I'm an external perspective with your wellbeing as my core motivation. And I bring my lived experiences, knowledge, and therapeutic experience.
I hope you feel able to bring your lived experiences, thoughts and feelings, behaviours, and everything that makes you you. And together we can work towards your goals for our work, with my aim being to help you live authentically to you, and empower you to make the changes you want for your life.

Initial Chat

I offer an initial chat for both us to get a sense of the other person and if we'll work well together. This usually lasts 15-30 minutes.

My Experience

The most important aspect for successful therapy is finding a therapist that works for you. For some people, having a therapist share a personal understanding of their situation is helpful, while for others it might hinder the work.

I am very happy to see if we'll be a good fit, and work well together no matter who you are and where you're coming from, and what you're coming with. I also have particular experience and training working with people bringing issues around the following:
