How Sessions Work 

Before Your First Session

Before we meet, I offer a brief 10–15 minute phone call. This is an opportunity for us to introduce ourselves and for you to share a little about what’s bringing you to therapy. We can also go through any practical questions and arrange a regular day and time to meet.

Following this call, I will email you a client agreement that explains confidentiality, cancellation terms, and how we’ll work together. 

I will also send you an intake form to complete. This gives you space to share some background information, as well as your preferences and what you hope to gain from therapy, helping me to support you in the most effective way.

Your First Session

In our first session, I may ask a few more questions than usual to get a sense of what’s going on for you. I may also suggest using some psychological measures or ...

There is no pressure to share everything straight away. We can take our time to build a trusting relationship where you feel safe and supported.

Session Format

Sessions begin on the hour and last 50 minutes. I will keep an eye on the time and gently let you know when we are approaching the final 5–10 minutes, so we can bring the session to a natural and unhurried close.

Online therapy is held on Google Meets, which you can use straight from your internet browser. You will just need to make sure you have a quiet, private space where you feel comfortable to speak openly.
