Frequently Asked Questions

Are you a member of  a counselling organisation?
I am a Registered Member with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. My registration number is: 407524

What is your availability?
I offer Monday evenings in person at my room in Clapham, 41 Abbeville Road, Clapham, London, SW4 9JX.  Please contact me to find out my availability on other days.

What is an initial consultation?
This is where we will spend 15 minutes at an agreed time on the phone or online. I will ask you a few simple questions about what has brought you to seeking therapy and I will also explain a little bit about how I work. We can then see if we think we might be a good fit to work together. 

I want to work with you. What do I need to do?
Once you decide you'd like to work with me, I will send you a copy of our Working Agreement for you to read along with a payment link for our first session.  If you're happy with this, we can then book our first session together. 

What will happen in our first session?
In our first session, I will try to get to know you a little better as well as finding out more about what has brought you to therapy.  It's ok if you're a little nervous, or reluctant to share everything. I know it can be difficult and appreciate that therapy takes time. 

How many sessions can I have?
You can have as many sessions as you like - there is no limit.

Do you work in-person?
Yes, Monday evenings at Clapham, The Awareness Centre, 41 Abbeville Road, Clapham, London, SW4 9JX. Please contact me for my availability on other days and locations.

Do you work online?
I do. Please contact me for my availability.

What are your fees?
My fees are £70  for adults and £90 for couples per 50 min session.

What modality do you use?
I use an integrative approach which uses elements from a range of modalities.

How long is an appointment?
Each appointment is 50min.

What if I'm late?
I understand that things don't always go to plan. There's no need to worry; please just let me know.

Can I cancel an appointment?
Yes you can. Please ask to see my cancellation policy. 

How often will we meet?
We will  meet weekly at the same time. I am sometimes able to offer fortnightly appointments. Please ask if this is possible.

What if I want to end therapy?
You can end therapy whenever you like. Hopefully you will be ending because you have achieved what you wanted to from therapy. It would be helpful if you could give me as much notice as possible about when you'd like to end so that we can work towards a planned ending. 

Do you work with children?
I work with children who are 16 and over as well as adults.

Do you work with couples or families?
I work with adults and couples. I currently do not work with families.
