FAQs

What days do you work?

I offer in-person psychological therapy sessions on a Thursday.

What kind of therapy do you offer?

I specialise in relational pp and attachment based therapy approaches, specifically psychodynamic and mentalisation based therapy.

I believe that therapy is about providing a safe and reflective space where you can explore and think about your self and your experiences.

The psychodynamic model is focused on exploring thoughts and feelings, making links between present and past and increasing your depth of self-understanding. Therapy may also involve thinking about your relationships with others and yourself, as well as the feelings which may emerge during the therapy itself

I offer time-limited therapy, where we work to an agreed number of sessions, and also open-ended therapy, which means the therapy can last as long as you need it to.

What happens at the beginning of therapy?

The beginning of therapy will typically involve us meeting once or a few times to gently explore the issues you are bringing to therapy, your general circumstance and what you are hoping from the therapy.

This initial phase enables us to decide I can offer you the help you need, or if you might be better helped by a different professional or organisation.

If we agree to work together then we will discuss arrangements for starting therapy, including which therapeutic approach and number of sessions.

How much do you charge for a session?

I charge £100 per session for individuals.

I am registered with the following health care insurers: AXA, BUPA, Aviva and Vitality. Please contact your health insurance provider to ascertain whether you are eligible.

How often will we meet?

I offer regular sessions on a weekly basis at the same time each week. If we agree to start therapy then I will reserve a regular weekly time slot for you.

What happens if I need to cancel a session?

I charge the full fee for any missed or cancelled sessions, unless 48 hours notice is given. I will give you as much notice as possible of any holidays I will be taking.

If I need to cancel a session in the event of an emergency, I will not charge for the session and will endeavour to re-arrange or replace the session where possible.
