Frequently Asked Questions

I can’t attend face-to-face therapy but am unsure whether Online therapy is for me?

Since Coronavirus lockdowns occurred, people have now become used to doing things online that were previously done face to face and therapy is no exception. I have a separate document covering what is involved in online therapy to help you decide if you would like to work this way.

How do I pay? What happens if I need to cancel a session?

When we agree an Initial Consultation session, a letter will be sent out to you outlining my payment arrangements, my 24-hour cancellation policy and any other documents relevant to your therapy.

I think my teenager needs therapy. How would it work if I wanted them to come to you?

Parents naturally have lots of questions of this nature when referring young people, so I have a separate FAQs for Parents document, available on request.
