but feeling uncertain about what to expect. My aim is always to create a warm, relaxed environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace, in a space that feels genuinely comfortable and safe.

Your first session is an assessment. We get to know each other, I answer your questions honestly, and you get a sense of whether working with me feels right. There is no obligation to commit to further sessions after that initial meeting.

If you do decide to continue, I usually suggest working together for up to six sessions before we have an informal review of how things are going. From there, we decide together how to proceed. I have experience in both short-term and longer-term therapeutic relationships, and the question of how long we work together tends to become clear naturally over time.

Sessions last 50 minutes and we usually meet weekly, though this is always discussed at the start. I see clients during the day and evening, and in some cases at weekends. If you need additional support between sessions, I will always do my best to accommodate that.
