How Can I Help You ?
Finding a Psychotherapist and starting therapy can be difficult. This is a process that should be directed by you and you should feel in control.
I believe that the core therapeutic relationship is of the utmost importance. This means providing an emotionally safe and confidential place to explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences.
The duration and content of therapy is determined by the client
“Nothing can bring you peace but yourself.” ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
I draw mostly from Person Centred, Humanistic and Existential therapies and believe in non-judgemental, emotionally safe and in depth counselling .
I have a special clinical interest in the formation and effects of ANXIETY across all ages.
Anxiety is a human emotion that is my area of professional interest both on an everyday level and within the context of an anxiety disorder, co-morbid mental health condition or health condition.
ONLINE COUNSELLING OPTIONS
I offer a variety of options and am flexible in finding a solution to allow clients to access therapy during this time of worldwide crisis.
Online video options– Skype, Whatsapp Video Call, Facetime, Zoom and V See
PLEASE NOTE THE BACP's PREFERRED PROVIDER FOR SECURITY AND ENCRYPTION IS ZOOM
These options are perfect if the client can ensure they have the time in a quiet place for them to conduct the session without interruptions.
Telephonic options– This is suitable for those that do not wish to conduct video or text sessions. It does require a quiet place however.
Online real time text options– Text, Whatsapp Message
For those clients that are unable to video call due to various issues text in real time can be incredibly valuable. This would mean that I set aside the time as I would a normal session to be available to conduct a text session.
Time and Price Options
One hour - £50
30 Minutes - £25
Sessions are prepaid via BACS or Paypal Transfer or for established clients on presentation of invoice or other agreement.
If we continue before payment I reserve the right to end therapy if sessions remain unpaid.
All platforms for online work have been heavily scrutinised over the last few years however if the client is aware of the limitations and is happy to continue these platforms should not be discounted. The most secure, that I am aware of at this current time is V SEE or Zoom
DATA PROTECTION ONLINE – Please know that I am the only person who has any access to my electronic devises and these are all additionally password protected.
