What can I talk about in therapy?

You're welcome to bring whatever feels important.  This might include feelings of anxiety or depression, difficulties in relationships, low self-esteem, experiences from your past, questions around identity, or a general sense of feeling stuck or overwhelmed.  You don’t need to have everything figured out — we can explore things together at your pace.

​

How often will we meet?

I usually suggest starting with weekly sessions, as this helps create a steady and supportive rhythm for our work. We can agree on a regular day and time that suits us both, and adjust as needed as things progress.

​

How long will I need to come to therapy?

I offer open-ended therapy, meaning we can work together for as long as it feels helpful.  Some people come for a few months, others for longer — it really depends on what you need and what you’re hoping to get out of therapy.  We’ll check in regularly to make sure it continues to feel useful.

​

Do you offer in-person and online sessions?

Yes — I work both in-person from my private home office in Warsop, near Mansfield, and online via Zoom.  Some clients like to combine the two, and I'm happy to offer a flexible arrangement where possible.

​

Do you offer a free introductory chat?

Yes - I do offer a short introductory video call if you'd find that helpful. It's not a therapy session, but more of a chance to meet and see whether working together might feel like the right fit. These calls usually last around 15–20 minutes, and you're welcome to ask any questions about how I work or what you're hoping for from therapy.

​

How much do sessions cost?

Sessions are £60 for 50 minutes and can be paid for via BACS (bank transfer).  I also accept cash payments for in-person sessions.

​

What if I need to cancel a session?

I ask for at least 24 hours' notice for cancellations.  If a session is cancelled with less notice, or missed without letting me know, it may be charged in full.  I understand that unexpected things come up — we can talk about what feels fair and manageable.

​

How do I know if you’re the right therapist for me?

It’s important that you feel safe and comfortable with whoever you choose to work with. Our first session is a chance to get a sense of how it feels to talk together — there’s no obligation to continue.  I’ll also be honest if I feel another kind of support might be a better fit for your needs.

​

Are you experienced in working with specific issues or communities?

I work with a wide range of concerns, and I have particular experience in supporting people around self-esteem, identity, anxiety, depression, and relationship patterns.  I also have experience working with neurodivergent clients and people from LGBTQIA+ and GSRD communities, and I aim to offer a space that feels affirming and inclusive.

​

What about confidentiality?
What you share in therapy stays between us, except in rare situations where I have a legal or ethical responsibility to break confidentiality (e.g. if there’s a serious risk of harm). I’ll explain this in more detail before we begin.

​

What’s the best way to get started?

You’re very welcome to get in touch to ask any questions or arrange an initial session.  I’ll respond with care — and never any pressure.  Before we meet, I’ll send you some pre-therapy information so you know what to expect.
