FAQ

  • The first session is mainly for us to get to know each other and whether we think that we can work together. It’s a chance for me to better understand what you’re hoping to get from our work together, and for you to get a sense of whether I’m the right person to support you. I like to offer a free first session because I feel that until you’ve met me, it’s hard for you to know whether I’m the right person for you. I also encourage people to talk to a few counsellors/ coaches/ therapists before deciding on one.

  • Individual and couples sessions are generally 50 minutes long. If you find that this length doesn't work for you, we can discuss shorter or longer sessions.

    Group sessions run for 1.5 hours.

  • Please contact me about my current prices.

    I try to offer a reduced price for people on a low income. I can only do this for a limited number of people. If this is something you need, please indicate this in the contact form.

    Group therapy is lower cost than individual sessions. Couples sessions are slightly more expensive.

  • I am a trained counsellor with a Level 6 certificate in counselling from the Link Centre, and I have several hundred hours of client experience. I meet the requirements for professional accreditation with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS).

    I am currently in training at The Link Centre for a Level 7 qualification as a Psychotherapist and accreditation by the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP).

    I also have an MSc in Psychology from the University of Sussex.

    My coaching work draws on my 20 years of experiences in project management and entrepreneurship, as well as my MBA and degree in Mechanical Engineering.

  • Anything you share with me will generally remain confidential and will only be shared with my psychotherapeutic supervisor, who is also bound by confidentiality agreements. However, if I believe there is a risk to your well-being or the well-being of someone else, I may need to contact other services, such as a general practitioner or the police. In such cases, I will make an effort to discuss this with you beforehand.

  • If you cancel a session with more than 48 hours' notice, there is no charge. After this time, I must charge half the cost of the session to cover my expenses and lost income.
