How Therapy Works | What to Expect
First contact: You can book a free 15‑minute call to see if we are a good fit.
Initial sessions: We begin with your story, goals and what feels hardest right now. We set a gentle pace and check in on what is helping.
Ongoing work: Some clients want short‑term, focused support. Others prefer longer‑term work to understand deeper patterns. We will decide together.
My approach: Integrative, drawing on relational, person‑centred, psychodynamic and mindfulness methods.
Confidentiality and ethics: I follow the BACP Ethical Framework and receive regular supervision.
Questions People Often Ask
1. Is therapy right for me if I am not in crisis?
Yes. Many clients come to feel less anxious, set boundaries, improve relationships and reconnect with themselves before things reach breaking point.
​
2. Do you offer online sessions?
Yes. I work in person in London and online across the UK.
3. How many sessions will I need?
It varies. Some people find shorter work helpful. Others choose longer‑term therapy to explore deeper patterns. We will review together.
​
4. Do you work with children or teenagers?
No, I only work with adults over the age of 18.
​
5. Do you work with couples or families?
I work with individuals rather than couples or families. However, many of my clients want to explore struggles and patterns in their relationships, whether that’s with a partner, family members, or friends. Our work can help you understand what’s happening beneath the surface, make sense of recurring dynamics, and develop tools for healthier, more fulfilling connections.
6. Do you accept insurance?
I don’t work directly with insurance providers, which means sessions are self‑funded. Many clients prefer this because it gives them complete privacy and flexibility because your therapy stays confidential, and you can choose the pace and focus without restrictions from an insurer. If you’d like to check whether your provider offers reimbursement for out‑of‑network therapy, I’m happy to provide receipts for you to submit.
7. Can I leave a review or testimonial?
I do not solicit testimonials in order to protect your privacy and to honour professional ethics.
