I am an experienced psychotherapist registered with the Foundation for Psychotherapy and Counselling (FPC) and UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and I work according to the FPC and UKCP Ethical Frameworks.

I worked within the NHS for several years with individuals with a primary diagnosis of Personality Disorder and a variety of co-existing difficulties, and currently run my own full time private practice where I frequently work with anxiety and depression. I see a wide range of people in private practice, some of whom come to therapy with a specific issue or goal in mind, and others who come with difficulties which are less obvious, more complex, and deep-rooted.

Many people find it helpful to talk to an objective, professionally trained person outside of their family or circle of friends. Choosing the right therapist is important and involves finding someone you feel you can trust and work with. Often it is the quality of the relationship between the client and therapist which is the best indicator of a good outcome. It is important that the therapist has undertaken accredited training and is appropriately registered with a professional membership organization.  

Appointments and Fees

I charge £70 for preliminary appointments. This fee is non-refundable and payable in advance in order to secure the booking.

If we decide to work together following any preliminary appointments, I will reserve a 50 minute session in my diary for you on the same day and at the same time each week, on a short-term or open-ended basis. The standard session fee is £70. The fee for early morning (before 9am) and evening sessions (after 6pm) is variable, according to individual circumstances, and can be discussed prior to any initial appointment.

If you are unemployed, on a low income, or studying, please enquire about low-cost appointments and I will let you know whether any are currently available or not. 

To arrange a brief initial telephone conversation, or ask any questions, please get in touch with me using the contact form on this website or by email. All correspondence between us will be treated in the strictest confidence.
