Getting started, the work itself and practicalities.
It’s an informal conversation, not a therapy session or an assessment. We talk about what’s going on for you, what you hope to get from therapy and how you’d prefer to work (online or in person, and how often), and I answer your questions.
Then you decide whether to book a first session.
Get in touch to book an introductory call →We get to know each other and begin building a working relationship. We explore what brought you, what you’d like from the work and how to work together. We also go through confidentiality, boundaries and the therapeutic agreement, which I send beforehand.
Your first session stands on its own. Therapy can be challenging as well as fulfilling. Afterwards, we can decide together whether and how you’d like to continue.
Your circumstances matter. Work, family, personal responsibilities and other commitments can make regular appointments difficult, so therapy is arranged around your circumstances.
A regular rhythm gives therapy continuity, so we agree weekly, fortnightly or monthly sessions from the start. We review how it’s working together, and if you want to change the frequency or bring the work to a close, we plan that together too.
I work with adults, with a particular focus on men. I’m interested in making therapy more accessible to men and to other underserved communities, who may not always see their experiences reflected in traditional services.
Whoever you are, we start with your individual circumstances, without assumptions.
I currently offer individual therapy rather than couples therapy. In one-to-one sessions we can explore your relationships with partners, family, colleagues and others, and look at a relationship as something in its own right: what’s straining it, and what you bring to it.
Yes, in line with the BACP Ethical Framework and legal requirements. The limited exceptions, such as serious safety concerns or legal obligations, are explained in the therapeutic agreement before we begin.
An invoice is emailed before each session, with a secure link to pay online. Payment is required before the session. If you need to cancel or rearrange an appointment, please give at least 24 hours’ notice.
Not currently. Sessions are self-funded, and I don’t work directly with health insurance providers.
Ask it in a message or in a free 15-minute call. I’ll reply within two working days.
