People seek private psychological therapy for many reasons, you might be struggling with anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, stress, trauma, or a sense that something isn’t quite right. You absolutely don’t need to be in crisis or have a formal diagnosis. If you’ve noticed that your emotions, self-esteem or relationships, are affecting your wellbeing or quality of life, working with an experienced Clinical Psychologist, can offer new opportunities to work through these difficulties and create a sense or grounding, clarity and emotional balance in your life.

Trust and honesty is an integral part of any therapist – client relationship, this means that what you discuss within your psychology sessions are conditionally confidential.  However, in rare cases it is my duty of care to break confidentiality.

There are limited exceptions to confidentiality, such as if there is a serious risk of harm to yourself or others. These boundaries would be discussed clearly at the start of therapy to ensure transparency and trust.

I know that starting therapy can feel daunting. Worrying about what you’ll say, feeling embarrassed, or fearing judgement, is really common. To help with this, I offer a free 20-minute phone consultation, giving you the opportunity to ask questions and explore whether therapy could be helpful for you.

I also offer standalone 50-minute consultation sessions with no ongoing commitment. These sessions provide a safe, confidential space to slow down, untangle what’s on your mind, and begin to think about the next steps.
