You don’t need to be in crisis or have a diagnosis to benefit from therapy. People seek therapy for many different reasons. Sometimes there is a specific difficulty, such as a burnout, relationship problems or a difficult experience. Other times, it may simply feel as though something isn’t quite right.You might notice yourself repeating the same patterns, feeling overwhelmed more often than you would like, struggling in your relationships, or wanting to understand yourself better. There is no threshold your problems need to reach before they are worth talking about.

Finding the right psychologist is personal. Qualifications and therapeutic approach matter, but it is equally important that you feel comfortable, understood and able to speak openly.For this reason, I offer a free 20-minute online consultation before starting therapy. It gives us an opportunity to briefly meet, discuss what brings you to therapy and see whether working together feels like a good fit.

I usually offer free consultation appointments within 1 to 3 days of being contacted. After our conversation, you’re welcome to take your time to decide whether you’d like to start therapy. If you feel ready, we can arrange your first session right away.

Nothing special is required - just come as you are. Our first session gives us more time to explore what brings you to therapy. We will talk about what you are currently experiencing, relevant aspects of your background and what you would like to understand or change.

No, you can book directly without a referral from your GP.
