Services
If you are struggling with your mood and it is starting to impact on your day to day life, or perhaps you are feeling a bit stuck, please do get in touch. Many people notice that their low mood, anxiety or low self-esteem gets in the way of their work or relationships, or just stops them from leading the life they want to have. You may have had some traumatic experiences which are preventing you from feeling able to move forward with your life. My aim is to reduce distress and reduce the impact of this on daily life. I also aim to help people to improve their overall well being. If you are unsure if psychology sessions are right for you please do feel free to get in touch to discuss this.
Therapy sessions
I offer therapy sessions in person (at a comfortable therapy room in Glynde), online and over the phone.
I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation if you wish to discuss things prior to arranging an initial assessment appointment. Please contact me to arrange a time for this consultation.
First appointments are an 80 minute assessment session (£160) to determine your goals, develop a shared understanding of your difficulties and come up with a plan together for how best to move forward. The first session is really a chance to get to know each other a little bit and decide on how best to take things forward. I understand that the first session can be daunting and I will do my best to put you at ease.
At the initial assessment session we would agree a way of working and a number of sessions, and review things after this. At this review if more sessions are required we would add more sessions before another review and continue in this way. If at the end of the assessment session I feel I am not the best person to meet your needs I will endeavour to signpost you to an alternative service.
Ongoing therapy sessions are 50 minutes and are priced at £120. These prices are for individuals who are privately funding and I can take payment via BACS or card. I am registered with all the major health insurance companies and rates vary. Please contact me for more information if you are looking to fund your therapy sessions using health insurance. Please note, sessions not attended, or cancelled with less than 48 hours notice are charged at the full fee.
I primarily work with adults and adolescents (14+). If you are looking for therapy for younger children and families I would recommend Roots and Wings Clinical Psychology and The Coastal Group.
