Individual in-person sessions

An oasis for your mind, and a welcome break from digital exposure. True connection relies on more than just audio and video; sensing the energies in a room makes for a deeper understanding and a stronger therapeutic relationship.

Open ended work

Humans are amazingly complex, our psychological make up is highly individual. Sometimes, we find ourselves unravelling more than we initially thought! It takes time to establish a trusting relationship and to feel comfortable enough to open up. To protect your emotional safety, I do not restrict engagements to any limited set of sessions.

Consultation calls

To agree how we can work together, I offer a free of charge consultation call. Please stipulate in your request (form or sms) when and how you are best contacted. Your confidentiality and privacy is paramount, so consider a time and place where you are not overheard or where your phone/email is not accessible to others.

Therapy commences with a first introductory session (50 mins), where we meet in person and you share your hopes and expectations.

the practical bits

For therapy to be most effective, we have weekly engagements. You may find you require time to digest and process in between sessions. Equally important is maintaining momentum.

Each therapeutic hour lasts 50 minutes. To protect your privacy and confidentiality, please do not arrive at the building more than 5 minutes prior to the start of the session. In the event of lateness of >20 mins, the session will not go ahead and will need to be rescheduled.

Cancellation policy: I require a minimum of 24 hours’ notice. Monday session cancellations should be sent by midday on Fridays.

In the event of recurring failure to meet payment, discontinuation of the service needs to be considered.

Q & A

Do you work with children and young people? Yes, I work with 4-18 year olds as well as adults and have availability. Check out the YOUNG CLOCKHAUS tab

Can I bring a friend, partner, family member? A strong 1-1 relationship is key, so a 3rd party is not brought in to the sessions.

Do you report back to my family, employer or others? Absolutely not, confidentiality is paramount. I work in accordance with the BACP’s Ethical Framework which lists confidentiality as key (more here). I elaborate further on confidentiality in our initial contracting.

How long should I be in therapy for? How many sessions do you recommend? You are in control over the amount of sessions you want or need. Everyone is different, and it would be inaccurate to put estimates on this.

Do you work like Freud? The Freudian approach is psychodynamic and can be analytical. I work with a humanistic approach, where we embark on a collaborative relationship, based on equality, not hierarchy. Click here to understand Humanistic approaches a little further.

Any therapies you do not offer ? I work integratively, including Humanistic (Gestalt, Person Centred, Existential), and psychodynamic modalities . For Children and Young people, I work creatively including play and may draw on some Cognititve Behavioural Therapy (CBT) .However, please note I am not a CBT counsellor. I do not offer Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) work.

Any online session? Where exceptional circumstances prevent us from meeting in person, I can arrange for us to meet online via Google Meet. As a rule I do not offer online therapy .
