Getting Started
You can make initial contact with me by email, text message or phone, whichever way is most comfortable and convenient.
After we have had a brief discussion, the next step is to arrange an assessment session.
This session provides an opportunity for us to meet, for you to tell me about yourself and your difficulties, and for me to check that I am able to offer you the help that you need. The assessment session is also an opportunity to ask questions and discuss any concerns.
To make an appointment for a first assessment or ask a question please contact me in one of the following ways:

You may take as much time as you need.
The cost of all sessions (including the asessment session) is as follows. All sessions last for 50 minutes:

I offer weekly or fortnightly sessions.. There is flexibility about the arrangement of these sessions and and we can discuss is best for you at the assessment session.
If your work or other commitments prevent you from attending at a regular day and time I'll do my best to accommodate your needs but whether this is possible will depend on the issues you are bringing to therapy as well as my schedule at the time.
