Clear fees, a free first call, and what to expect from the first session onward.

Begin the agreed work and review how it is helping.
It is a short first conversation to understand what is bringing you here, explain how I work, and see whether beginning together feels right. You do not need to prepare a perfect explanation. A simple outline of what has been difficult lately is enough.
\nIf you would rather know how everything runs before we speak, the Welcoming Guide is a free 15-page PDF covering the existing counselling services and first appointments. For the new Beyond the Story programme, use the current programme page for its details and fee.
Sessions are structured, emotionally attuned and designed to help you understand patterns rather than simply retell events.
That means we look not only at what happened, but at what keeps happening, what it means to you, and what needs to shift. The work is reflective, but not vague. Practical, but not mechanical.
I work online in English with UK and international clients where online therapy is clinically appropriate and legally and ethically possible. Country, time zone and privacy for sessions are checked before beginning.

No. The work is reviewed as it goes.
Often yes, where online therapy is clinically and legally appropriate.
A few lines about what brings you, which service interests you and the country you are in are enough. You do not need to send your full history in an initial email. For written counselling, we agree suitability and secure communication through Carepatron before beginning.
Short, honest pieces for the week everything changed: a divorce, an affair, a marriage gone quiet, a breakup, the empty weekends after separating.
For the marriage which went quiet, the load nobody sees, the affair, the baby years, and the question of whether to stay.
You can book a consultation for appointments or enquire in writing about weekly written counselling. We consider what support fits before you commit.
