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 and Tuesday 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. I would suggest that you commit to a minimum of three sessions to start off with if you are able.
Do you work in-person?
Yes, Monday and Tuesday evenings at Clapham, The Awareness Centre, 41 Abbeville Road, Clapham, London, SW4 9JX. I am also available on other days online or on the telephone and in Chiswick, including weekends.
Do you work online?
I do! My online availability is the same as my in-person availability.
What are your fees?
My fees are £70 for adults and £100 for couples per 50 min session.
What modality do you use?
I use an integrative approach which uses elements from a range of modalities. I am also able to offer Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.
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. I know that sometimes life gets in the way and we all need some flexibility. Please ask to see my cancellation policy.
How often will we meet?
It would be good if we could meet at the same time each week, but I know this isn't always possible so I do offer some flexibility. 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 we can work towards a planned ending together.
Do you work with children?
I work with people who are 16 years and older.
Do you work with couples or families?
I work with adults and couples. I currently do not work with families.
