Do you offer couples counselling? No, I only work with individuals. Here is a link to a couples counselling practice based in South East London - https://londoncouplesclinic.co.uk/
Do you offer face-to-face sessions? Yes, I offer face-to-face sessions in Sydenham SE26.
What will happen during our free 20-minute chat? I will ask you what you want to work through in therapy and what you hope to achieve. I will explain how I work and you can ask any questions. You do not need to decide whether you want to work with me during our chat. There is no obligation. It is simply a chance to connect and see if what I have to offer feels right for you.
How many sessions will I need? I offer short and long-term therapy and the amount of sessions will depend on your needs. We could agree on a fixed number of sessions or work open-endedly. I will review our work on a regular basis.
What is your cancellation policy? Therapy works best if you commit to weekly sessions, especially in the beginning. If you need to cancel a session I require 48hrs notice.
I understand that taking the first step by seeking counselling can feel daunting. I am happy to answer any questions and I provide a free 20-minute chat for you to decide if what I have to offer works for you.
Here are some frequently asked questions:
"The act of revealing oneself fully to another and still being accepted may be the major vehicle of therapeutic help".

If I decide I want to work with you, what will happen during our first session? Before our first session, I will send you some paperwork which includes a contract, registration form and a privacy statement for you to sign. During our first session, we will discuss our contract and I will also ask you questions as part of an assessment which will help us to work effectively together.
