I want you to get the care you deserve.
My Approach
If you have been looking for a therapist for a few days or weeks now, you have probably read many introductions and I know it can be hard to have a sense of what someone is really like and how it will be for you, to work with them. I’ve tried to give a sense of my training and approach over these pages but please don’t be afraid to email me with any questions or book an introductory call to get to know me better if you think that would help you in making a decision.
I consider myself to be a warm, caring and flexible therapist and I hope to work with you in a way that best fits your needs and support you towards your goals. My early training in Person Centred Therapy, and current engagement in Compassion Focused Therapy both strongly influence my approach and I believe that the most effective therapies prioritise not just useful techniques, but a strong and considerate therapeutic relationship.
I work from an evidence base, meaning I will discuss your problems with you and use proven models and therapies to help you to face these difficulties and move towards your goals. I will discuss your options for treatment with you and hope we can work together to identify what feels like the best fit for this point in your life. I want to ensure you receive the best care possible and if I do not feel I can offer you the relevant therapy for your needs, I will make the best recommendation I can to help you moving forward.

Assessment and therapy
Your initial assessment session and all subsequent therapy sessions are 50 minutes long, though you are welcome to request longer sessions if this would suit you better. Typically, meetings are weekly though there may be times that this varies, depending on your needs.
50 mins | £120 | Get started
EMDR
EMDR sessions are scheduled as slightly longer to allow adequate time to work on your target memories or concerns. It also allows time to feedback on your previous session and plan for the week ahead.
60 - 80 mins | £120 - 150 | Get started
Behavioural Experiments
Carried out in-person, in relevant locations in the community, this session will help you with what you care most about and develop a plan to achieve personal therapy goals.
