    A First Step Together

    Let's start with a conversation

    ​

    One of the biggest hurdles can be finding the right therapist for you. It's important to feel comfortable with the person you choose to work with, which is why I offer a free, no-obligation 20-minute telephone or video consultation.

    ​

    This is an opportunity for us to meet, touch base and get a feel for whether working together might be right for you. You'll have time to ask any questions you may have about therapy, briefly outline what's bringing you here, and share any hopes or concerns you might have about beginning the process.

    ​

    Please note that this is an introductory conversation, not a therapy session. It's an opportunity for us to get to know one another, discuss what you're looking for and consider whether I may be able to support you. Therapeutic work would begin separately, in an agreed therapy session, if you decide you'd like to proceed.

    ​

    There's no pressure or expectation to continue. It's simply a chance for us to connect and see whether working together feels right for you.

    ​

    How does it work?

    Your initial consultation lasts approximately 20 minutes and takes place by telephone or video call, depending on your preference.

    ​

    When completing my contact form, please let me know how you'd prefer to be contacted, along with the days and times that work best for you.

    ​

    I ask about your availability because I want you to have the time and space to talk freely. It's helpful to consider whether you'll be somewhere you feel comfortable speaking, whether interruptions are likely, and whether you'll have a reliable telephone or internet connection.

    ​

    I won't call you unexpectedly. We'll arrange a suitable time in advance, so you'll know when to expect me.

    ​

    I understand that life can be busy, so I aim to offer flexibility wherever possible to accommodate your existing commitments.

    ​

    Once you've submitted your contact form, I'll be in touch as soon as I can to arrange a convenient time. In the meantime, please remember to check your spam or junk folder in case my response finds its way there.

    ​

    Ready to take that first step?​

    When completing my contact form, please indicate:

    • Whether you'd prefer a telephone or video call.

    • The days and times you're available.

    • The best way to contact you.

    ​

    Your introductory 20-minute conversation is completely free, with no obligation to continue.

    ​

    Sometimes, the hardest part is simply getting started. Let's begin with a conversation and take it from there.
