Sometimes life can feel difficult because of something that happens which is upsetting or destabilising, this might be in the present moment or in the past. Sometimes our experience of life can feel difficult for no obvious reason at all.

When we're living with this kind of internal discomfort it's important to slow down and reflect on what's going on and consider the ways we can take care of ourselves. It can be really helpful to do this with another person, who is trained to listen and respond in ways that support, encourage and occasionally challenge.

As we're all different, so too are the approaches that might help us examine or find some kind of resolution to our internal or external conflict.

My clients are welcome to talk about whatever is happening for them in that moment.

I have specific experience working with the following areas of the human condition:

• Anxiety and worry
  
• Depression
  
• Stress
  
• Self harm
  
• Isolation and loneliness
  
• Addictions; alcohol, prescription/ non-prescription substances
  
• Work place issues, low job satisfaction
  
• Problems forming relationships with others
  
• Identity
  
• Low confidence or self-esteem
  
• Sexual identity, gender identity and sexuality
  
• Disability and health related issues
  
• Autistic Spectrum Disorders
  
• Bereavement and loss
  
• Domestic violence

A first session is a good chance to have an in depth conversation to see what it is you are bringing, and how we might work together to be of benefit to you. 

The first session might feel a bit different as we will be getting to know one another. I might ask more questions than usual, you might feel like you are covering a lot ground. 

If you'd decide to book more sessions then we will go through our working agreement and a short risk assessment in the second session. 

It is a bit different - we have less information available to us through non-verbal communication, but I've found that working through a video link is easier to adapt to then you might think.  

We may need to check our understanding a bit more often, and there will be some experimentation to find the best place to sit and place the device you are using so you are comfortable and have a view that works for you.

This varies from person to person, and is something we can agree before hand - if that feels better for you, or we can see how we go and regularly review our work to check that it's moving in the right direction for you.

Currently I practice mostly online, and hold sessions on weekdays; mornings and afternoons, and Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings.

I have a number of spaces to suit different schedules on these days.

I offer Walking Therapy too, generally in the day time on weekdays.

At the moment I live in South East London and practice primarily online. I appreciate how online working has increased the reach of my practice, so wherever you are based, don't hesitate to get in touch.

In our initial appointment information I send a Zoom link. You use this by clicking through, and waiting for me to pick you up and bring you into the online session.

The link works through your browser, or alternatively if you are looking to have regular sessions, you can download an app that simplifies the process.

I charge £65 per 50 minute session, unless we arrange otherwise.

Face-to-face appointments when available are more expensive.

Walking Therapy is £80 for 60 minutes. Do get in touch to find out more.
