What happens after I get in touch with you?

Once I receive your enquiry, I’ll get back to you via email to arrange a free 15-minute consultation call.

This informal conversation is a chance for us to get to know each other and explore what you’re looking for. I’ll ask a few gentle questions about:

• What’s led you to consider therapy

• Your current concerns

• Any previous therapy experiences

• Whether you have a particular approach in mind

• Any important wellbeing factors I should be aware of

You’re welcome to ask me anything too — about therapy styles, how I work, or what to expect going forward.

It may sound like a lot, but I promise the call will be relaxed and completely pressure-free.

What happens after our initial call?

We’ll close the consultation by gently exploring whether I feel like the right fit for you. If not, I’ll do my best to signpost you to trusted colleagues or services that may better support your needs.

If everything feels aligned, we’ll get our diaries together and book your first session — starting your therapy journey in a way that feels calm and considered.

Do you offer face-to-face work?

At this time, sessions are available online only, using secure video conferencing platforms.

This flexible format means therapy can take place wherever you are — whether at home, at work, or somewhere else that feels safe and comfortable. It also allows me to reach clients across the UK who may otherwise struggle to access specialist support locally.

How many sessions will I need?

Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all — the number of sessions varies depending on your goals, circumstances, and the type of support you’re seeking.

With CBT, many clients find between 6 and 20 sessions helpful, especially when working on specific challenges like anxiety, low mood, or self-esteem. We’ll set goals together and regularly review progress so therapy feels focused and purposeful.

With EMDR, the timeline is a little more individual. Some people may need only a few sessions to process a single traumatic event, while others benefit from a longer series to explore complex trauma or multiple experiences. EMDR includes phases like preparation and resourcing, so we’ll move at a pace that feels safe and effective for you.

Whatever your path, I’ll work collaboratively with you to tailor therapy to your needs — and we’ll review together as things unfold to ensure it remains useful and supportive

Do I need to prepare anything before sessions?

There’s no formal preparation needed — just come as you are.

If you’re joining online, it can be helpful to:

• Find a quiet, private space where you feel safe and undisturbed

• Have a stable internet connection and headphones if needed

• Bring a notebook or journal, if you like jotting things down

• Keep a glass of water nearby and anything that helps you feel comfortable

You don’t need to “be ready” or have everything figured out — therapy is a space to explore that together. Whether you're feeling nervous, hopeful, unsure, or all of the above, you're warmly welcome.

How do I pay for sessions?

Payment is made via bank transfer, and all the relevant details will be shared in your therapy contract when we begin working together.

To confirm your booking, payment is kindly requested at least 24 hours before each session.

I also work in partnership with Vita Health and Bupa Health Insurance — if you’re covered through either, do let me know so we can explore how to arrange your sessions through their services.

If you'd like to explore this route:

• Please check with your provider whether psychological therapy or EMDR/CBT sessions are covered

• Let me know your policy details at the enquiry stage

• I’ll guide you through the process of booking and invoicing through your insurer

If you're unsure or have questions about using health insurance to fund therapy, I'm happy to talk things through during our initial consultation call.

What if I need to cancel or reschedule?

Life happens, and I understand things may come up. If you need to cancel or reschedule, please give at least 24 hours’ notice.

Sessions cancelled with less than 24 hours' notice may be charged in full, as this time has been set aside specifically for you.

If you’re ever unsure or something unexpected occurs, feel free to reach out — I’ll always aim to be understanding and fair.
