Where are you based?
I offer sessions in Beckenham BR3, Crystal Palace SE19, and Sydenham SE26.
What will happen during our free 20-minute chat?
I will ask you what you want to work through in therapy and what you hope to achieve. I will explain how I work, and you can ask any questions. You do not need to decide whether you want to work with me during our chat. There is no obligation. It is simply a chance to connect and see if what I have to offer feels right for you.
How many sessions will I need?
I offer short and long-term therapy, and the number of sessions will depend on your needs. We could agree on a fixed number of sessions or work on an open-ended basis. I will review our work on a regular basis.
What is your cancellation policy?
Therapy works best if you commit to weekly sessions, especially in the beginning. If you need to cancel a session, I require 48 hours ' notice.
I understand that taking the first step by seeking counselling can feel daunting. I am happy to answer any questions, and I offer a complimentary 20-minute chat to help you decide if what I have to offer is a good fit for you

If I decide I want to work with you, what will happen during our first session?
Before our first session, I will send you some paperwork which includes a counselling agreement and registration form for you to sign. During our first session, we will discuss our agreement, and I will also ask you questions as part of an assessment, which will help us to work effectively together.
