What to expect

It may come as a surprise, but very often problems or questions suffered in silence may be far less severe than you imagine.
The first step is to contact me. I'll email you with a suggested initial appointment.

During your initial consultation I'll collect some details about you, what's brought you to seek therapy, and what you'd like to get out of our appointments. Initial consultations last up to 90 minutes. During this appointment, I'll collect data from you regarding your life and relationships and begin to try to understand some of the patterns which get in the way of you living relationally - either with yourself or a partner/s.

We'll also discuss how we can best work together.. For example, some people benefit from weekly sessions, whilst others find that fortnightly sessions work better, allowing more time to process the work we've done and put into practice new skills we've discussed.

Ongoing appointments for couples and individuals usually last 60 minutes. I also offer longer appointments which are particularly useful for couples wanting to dig deeper into the process more quickly.

I don't view this work as an analysis of the past, instead it is your journey forward with an experienced guide to travel with you, towards your own specific goals and desires. It will usually be necessary to draw on your past, but always with the intention of looking forwards towards your hopes and dreams.

It can be hard to find someone to talk things over with who is not only trained, but has “been there”. I consider myself to be a community therapist with a global view of psychology, psychotherapy and sexuality. My extensive life experience enables me to listen to you deeply and without judgement, whilst holding a mirror to enable you to look at your life from a different angle.

All work is conducted online using either Zoom or WhatsApp.
