I offer both short- and long-term therapy, meeting for 50 minutes at the same time on a weekly basis. (I am also running a therapy group from September - scroll down for more information).

I don't prescribe the number of sessions - everyone has different needs. It is your choice, and something we can discuss together at the beginning, and review as necessary as the therapy progresses. However, I would suggest (though it is not compulsory) that a minimum of 6 sessions is advisable in order to gain any benefit from the work.

I am now offering face-to-face sessions, in both Sydenham and Brockley, in premises that adhere to Covid safety guidelines. Please contact me if you have any questions about this.

My standard fee is £50 per session, although I have limited space at a lower rate, for people on reduced income or out of work. Payment by bank transfer is preferred.

Sessions cancelled with 48 hours' notice will not be charged.

As a trainee psychotherapist, I am required to be in regular supervision with a qualified UKCP/BACP supervising psychotherapist. I abide by the professional and ethical codes of UKCP, BACP and Metanoia Institute.

Confidentiality and safety are crucial in therapy. I uphold these principles in accordance with the BACP and UKCP codes of ethics, maintaining complete confidentiality with the following exceptions: I am required to discuss my work (using the client's first name only) with a qualified supervising psychotherapist, which is also a confidential relationship; and where there is a risk of harm to self or others.

I am required by law to adhere to GDPR regulations and be registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office. My reference number is ZA486962. 

I can share more details about my digital policy on request.
