Working Together
What to expect
Starting therapy or coaching is a meaningful step – and it’s important to feel informed, supported, and comfortable from the beginning.
This page outlines how we’ll work together, what to expect in your first session, and how to get started.
HOW SESSIONS WORK
-
Sessions last 50 minutes
-
Psychotherapy is typically weekly and open-ended
-
Coaching is usually every few weeks, with time for reflection and action between sessions
-
I work in person in Clapham and the City of London, and online across the UK
-
If you want to work in-person, contact me so we can discuss time and location
-
Fees: £95 for online psychotherapy & £115 for in-person; £130 for coaching
I aim to make working together as easy as possible. Clients receive recurring calendar invites so they don't miss sessions, with one-click payment links to pay directly via banking apps without needing to enter lots of information, and video calls via MS Teams – making it easy to stay organised and focused on the work itself.
Before we begin, I’ll send you a contract outlining terms so you can ask questions.
Your First Session
This is a chance to explore what brings you here and what you hope to achieve. We’ll talk about your goals, your context, and how we might work together. It’s also an opportunity for you to ask questions and get a feel for the process.
There’s no pressure to commit – the most important factor in successful work is finding someone you feel comfortable working with.
How Long Does It Take?
There’s no fixed timeline.
-
Psychotherapy is open-ended and can continue for as long as you find it helpful. Some clients come weekly for months or years; others take breaks and return when needed.
-
Coaching is usually shorter-term and goal-focused. I recommend starting with three sessions and reviewing progress.
We’ll regularly check in to make sure the work is aligned with your goals.
In-Person or Online?
Both options offer a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space. Some clients prefer to begin in person; others find online more convenient or comfortable. You’re welcome to move between formats as needed.
Confidentiality & Ethics
All sessions are confidential. I am an accredited member of both the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and the Universities Psychotherapy & Counselling Association (UPCA), and adhere to their ethical frameworks.
