Sessions & Fees
Your first session
People often feel nervous seeing a psychologist or coach for the first time. They are concerned that they won't know where to start or don't know how they will explain feelings or behaviour they can't make sense of themselves. My aim is to help you feel at ease from the offset.
Don't worry about giving a perfectly clear, coherent account immediately - I'm trained to help you explore your situation, and over the first couple of sessions we will decide together where to focus.
The first session is a chance for us to meet and assess your needs. Equally importantly, you can ask questions and see if you'd feel comfortable working with me.
I'll also explain to you our Counselling/Coaching Agreement. This document sets out your rights and responsibilities, helping you know what to expect should you decide to work with me.
This first session is available at a reduced price and without pressure. Let's meet and see if we're a good fit!

How does online therapy compare to working face to face?
Online therapy, whilst different from face to face therapy, it is not a second-rate option. Research shows that clients rate it as just as effective as in-person work, and still feel able to build a good therapeutic relationship.
In additional to my significant background in online teaching, I have engaged in much additional, accredited training to ensure our online work is as comfortable, secure and effective as possible.

What will I need?
- Access to a laptop/tablet with webcam and mic (inbuilt is usually fine) and a reliable internet connection.
- A private space where you can feel free to talk without fear of being overheard, distracted or interrupted.
-
How it is done?
I currently use the online platform Zoom*, and take all measures to ensure utmost security and confidentiality. Clients usually find it very user friendly and I will forward details to help you with the initial set up.
Online therapy also allows for easy sharing of explanatory diagrams and worksheets to discuss together in real time.
