Therapy FAQs

As a UKCP-registered psychotherapist, I am bound by professional ethical guidelines around client confidentiality, privacy, and the use of testimonials within therapy practice. Therapy is deeply personal work, and protecting clients’ privacy, safety, and discretion is central to how I work.

Therapy is helpful if you feel stuck in patterns that keep repeating, emotionally overwhelmed, affected by past experiences or trauma, or struggling in relationships and wanting things to change. Therapy can support both greater self-understanding and deeper emotional and relational change.

The first session we explore what brings you to therapy, discuss your current difficulties, and begin to think about what you would like to feel different by the end of therapy. Creating greater clarity around what you hope to achieve and something we can return to over time to measure how the therapy is progressing.

Most sessions take place weekly at a regular reserved time to support consistency, safety, change and continuity within the therapeutic process.

Yes. Much of my work is longer-term psychotherapy, supporting people to explore deeper emotional and relational patterns over time. I also offer shorter-term therapy where appropriate.

Sessions are available in person at my private practice in Cubley, Derbyshire, or online across the UK and Europe via Zoom.

Yes. I work with a range of relationship structures, including open relationships and consensual non-monogamy, offering a supportive and non-judgemental therapeutic space.

I offer a range of payment options to suit different needs and circumstances.I generally recommend weekly sessions, as I find that regular, consistent sessions often provide the best conditions for building momentum and supporting meaningful change. However, I also recognise that weekly therapy isn't always practical or financially accessible, which is why I also offer fortnightly sessions.For clients who are looking for occasional support rather than ongoing therapy, I also offer ad hoc sessions. These are booked on a week-by-week basis, subject to availability, and are not suitable for EMDR therapy, which requires a more consistent approach.You can view the current fees and full details for each option below:Weekly sessions: Click HereFortnightly sessions: Click HereAd hoc sessions: Click HereIf you're unsure which option would be the best fit for your needs, please feel free to get in touch and I'd be happy to discuss it with you.
