The first steps

  1. If you're considering therapy and would like to explore working together, start by getting in touch via email or the ‘Contact Me’ button on this site. Depending on my availability, I will invite you to a free 20-minute consultation call. We'll discuss what you're looking for, whether I’m the right person to support you, and any initial questions.

  2. If we decide to move forward, we’ll arrange an initial assessment session. We’ll explore in more depth what’s bringing you to therapy and what you hope to gain from the process. We’ll also talk through any concerns, expectations, or questions.

The assessment process is collaborative and reflective. Its purpose is to help us both consider whether we are a good fit for working together. Sometimes, this assessment may take more than one session to ensure we have the clarity and grounding we need to begin.

If we decide to continue, we'll agree on next steps and begin booking regular sessions.

It’s hard to know at the very beginning whether therapy with the therapist you choose and the approach/modality of therapy used will be the right fit for you. The initial stage of therapy with me would involve building a fuller picture of you, your current concerns, your history, and your hopes for therapy. We would then discuss how we might work together, which therapy approach(es) might be best for you, and whether I am the right therapist for you. If I think you would benefit from a different approach or a different therapist, I will explain this and tell you. I know therapy is an investment and a commitment, and I do not believe in going ahead if we don’t think it’s the right fit.
