Online therapy in English

Book a free
online consultation

A free 15 to 20 minute online call to talk through what you need and whether we are a fit.

Booking opens in Carepatron. Choose “Initial consultation”. If you cannot find a suitable time or the calendar will not open, message me on WhatsApp to arrange a consultation.

The consultation is free, with no obligation to continue. The Welcoming Guide is there if you would like to read more.

Just enough for me to understand the basics.

You do not need to write the perfect message. A few lines about what has been difficult lately are enough. The consultation is a simple first conversation to understand your situation, explain how I work, and see whether it makes sense to begin.

You do not need to tell your whole story here. Please keep your initial written enquiry brief and leave sensitive details for our private conversation.

How your information is handled

Only your name, email and consent are required. Add your country and a brief message if you wish. We can arrange a time by email.

Consent

I usually reply within two working days. If you have not heard back, please message me on WhatsApp. You do not need to include sensitive details.

Important note. This contact route is for therapy enquiries only. It is not monitored as an emergency service. If you are in immediate danger or crisis, please contact local emergency services or urgent mental health support in your country.

What brings you here?

Something you are carrying on your own, something between you, or something easier to put into words on a page. Open an option to see how we could begin.

You might want to talk about something specific, or simply feel that things have become harder to carry on your own. We can use the first conversation to work out where to start.

Perhaps you keep having the same argument, or find yourselves saying less and less. The consultation gives both of you a chance to meet me and ask how we would work together.

After you reach out.

You can ask questions too. The first conversation is a chance to get a sense of me and how it feels to talk together.

Before we meet

You will receive a reply with available consultation times. If we decide to work together, we can then arrange sessions in a way that fits your situation, goals and time zone. If you would like to know how the work runs before we speak, the Welcoming Guide sets it out, including the order of the first sessions for couples.

During our first conversation

We have 15 to 20 minutes online. You can tell me a little about what has been difficult, ask about my approach and talk through practical questions such as fees and finding a time. You do not need to tell your whole story in this first call.

You choose what happens next

The first step is not a commitment to long-term therapy. It is simply a conversation to see whether this feels like the right place to begin.

Before we meet.

Is the consultation free?

Yes, it lasts 15 to 20 minutes.

Can couples enquire together?

Yes. Couples are welcome to enquire together. Both partners attend the introductory consultation, where we discuss what brings you here and how couples work would begin.

Is there anything to read before the consultation?

If you want it, yes. The Welcoming Guide is a free 15-page PDF on how I work: individual therapy, couples therapy, couples in two countries and co-parenting after separation. For couples it explains why, where we use the Gottman format, each partner has one individual session with me before couples therapy begins.

Can I come as an individual if my relationship is the main issue?

Yes. You can come on your own to discuss your relationship, feelings and choices. Your partner does not need to attend an individual consultation.

What should I write?

A few lines about what has been difficult and whether you are seeking individual or couples work.

Can I attend from another country?

I work online with UK and international clients. Tell me the country you will attend from and your time zone so we can check availability and whether I can offer suitable support before we begin.

Does booking a consultation commit me to therapy?

No. The consultation is a chance to meet, ask questions and discuss whether working together feels suitable. You can decide afterwards whether you would like to arrange a session.

What are the fees after the free consultation?

Individual online therapy costs £70 for 50 minutes. Couples therapy costs £100 per couple for 70 minutes. Email therapy costs £50 per week for one personal written reply from me through Carepatron. We agree suitability and the practical arrangements before starting.

A first conversation is enough to begin.

You do not need a full plan right now. You only need a clear next step.
