Taking the first step towards therapy can feel daunting. You may have been thinking about reaching out for some time, wondering whether therapy could help or unsure where to begin.​ 

 

Whatever has brought you here, you don't need to have everything figured out before making contact.​ Therapy provides a safe, confidential space where you can talk openly about what's happening in your life, explore difficult experiences, and begin to understand yourself in new ways.

 

Whether you're struggling with the effects of trauma, addiction, abuse, anxiety, low self-esteem, or feeling overwhelmed by life, support is available.

​

​Your Next Steps

  1. Contact me by phone, WhatsApp or email (you can even complete the form below). 

  2. Arrange a free online 30-minute introductory conversation.

  3. Ask any questions you may have about therapy and decided if we feel aligned. 

  4. Arrange a first session.

​

There is no pressure or obligation to continue at any point. If you decide to move forward, we will arrange ongoing sessions at a pace that feels right for you. Therapy is not about being judged or told what to do. It is about having the space, support, and professional guidance to better understand your experiences and move towards meaningful change.

​

Sessions are £65 for 50 minutes; a dedicated, confidential hour that's entirely yours, with a therapist who specialises in trauma, addiction and complex difficulties.

​

When you're ready, I'd be pleased to hear from you and below is an online form that goes straight to me to start the process. For more information, please look through my website.
