Yes. What we discuss in therapy will usually remain confidential. However, if I am concerned that you or someone else may be at risk of serious harm, or if you disclose a safeguarding concern, I may need to share relevant information with appropriate services to help keep people safe.

No. You don't need a formal diagnosis to access therapy; we can work together on the difficulties that have brought you to seek support.

Not necessarily. I work with a range of long-term health conditions, and we can discuss whether your current difficulties are something I can support you with. Ideally, any significant medical investigations should have been completed before starting therapy, so we have a clearer understanding of your physical health needs.

Yes. I offer online appointments to adults living anywhere in the UK, so you don't need to live locally to work with me.

No, you can refer yourself directly by completing my enquiry form. You do not need to speak to your GP before getting in touch.

I'll get in touch to arrange a brief 15–20 minute consultation call. This gives us an opportunity to discuss what has brought you to therapy and answer any initial questions, before you decide whether you'd like to book your first session.

Sessions can take place weekly or fortnightly and may be short-term or longer-term, depending on your needs and goals. We'll review your progress regularly and can adapt the plan as we go.

If, after an assessment, you decide that CBT isn't what you're looking for, I can help point you towards other types of therapy or services that may be a better fit.

Yes. You are under no obligation to continue therapy and can choose to stop at any time. I would encourage you to discuss this with me first so we can think together about the best way to end our work.

Sometimes, yes. You may be invited to try out strategies or put what we've discussed into practice between sessions, helping you apply what you're learning to everyday life and get the most from therapy.

Yes. My role is to support the psychological and emotional impact of living with your health condition, alongside—not instead of—the medical advice and treatment provided by your GP, consultant or other healthcare professionals.

Yes, if I am registered with your insurance provider and your policy covers the therapy you are seeking. You will need to check this with your insurer, and therapy can begin once the necessary authorisation has been received.
