How do I decide whether this is right for me?

Contact me for a remote consultation. This will be a chance to discuss your reasons for pursuing therapy and work out an arrangement going forward. I work in an open-ended way, which means I will not determine how long we might need to see each other, but we will agree to the frequency of sessions. This costs £20 and tends to last 30 - 60 minutes.

How much does it cost?

My rate is £40 a session. A session lasts 50 minutes. I kindly request advance notice of any holidays you plan to take. If you need to cancel a session outside of 24 hours’ notice, I will offer you an alternative date if I am able. If you need to cancel within 24 hours, you will be invoiced for the missed session. I send invoices monthly, and accept cash and bank transfer.

Do you offer low-cost/concession rates?

Yes - I maintain a number of spaces for unwaged people/those on a low income. Please contact me to enquire, and I can reduce the consultation fee when offering you reduced rates.

How often should I have sessions?

Once or twice a week is a common frequency for psychotherapy, allowing for meaningful work to occur. Some consider psychoanalysis to need 3+ sessions weekly. It really depends on what you are willing and able to commit to. You are welcome to begin at one session weekly and review at a later date.

Where are you?

My practice is located in Southwark (South-East London), close to Canada Water Station. It is on the first floor and unfortunately there is no lift. I conduct remote sessions by phone and online on Doxy or Zoom.
