Getting in touch

Most people start by sending a message through the contact form or by email. You don't need to explain everything — a sentence or two about what is bringing you to therapy is plenty.

The initial consultation

The first appointment is a 50-minute consultation. It isn't a sales call and it isn't an assessment you can fail. It is a proper session, and its purpose is for both of us to think about whether working together makes sense.

You can use it to ask whatever you need to — how I work, what my training is, what my professional registration means, how confidentiality works. I would rather you asked. Anyone considering therapy should be able to ask a therapist about their registration, their ethical framework and their boundaries, and get a clear answer without the other person becoming defensive.

I will be honest with you if I don't think I am the right person, and I will say so at that point rather than later.

Fees

Current fees are confirmed with you directly before we begin. I’m always happy to discuss fees openly before you commit to anything.

I don't offer discounts. The work asks for a consistent commitment from both of us, and the fee structure is part of what supports that.

Ongoing sessions

Sessions are 50 minutes, usually weekly, at the same time each week where possible. That regularity matters more than it might sound — a predictable, boundaried space is part of how this work does what it does.

The work is open-ended rather than a fixed number of sessions. I don't offer a set programme, because meaningful change doesn't run to a schedule. We review as we go, and you will have a sense of when the work feels complete.

Most of the people I see are working at a medium to long-term depth.

Where sessions happen

In person in Chelmsford, and online or by telephone. I work with adults aged 18 and over.
