What it is like
What therapy with me is like.
- 01We start with what is on your mind.
You do not need a perfect explanation. We can begin with what feels difficult, confusing or simply hard to carry on your own.
- 02We take time to understand it.
We look at what is happening now and the experiences, relationships and beliefs that may be shaping it.
- 03We consider what comes next.
As you understand yourself more clearly, we can explore the choices available to you and what you would like to do differently.
Before we begin
Getting ready for our first session.
You only need to share a little when you first enquire. If we decide to work together, I’ll ask privately for your full name, date of birth, address and a safe way to contact you. I’ll also ask about your GP practice, if you have one, and someone you would feel comfortable naming as an emergency contact.
These details help me arrange your sessions and plan how to support you in an emergency. If you do not have a GP, or feel uncomfortable sharing something, we can talk about your concerns and possible alternatives.
For online sessions, we’ll confirm where you are and how to reconnect if the call drops. We’ll also go through our therapy agreement, including privacy, fees and cancellations, with time for your questions. You do not need to write out your whole history.
Your privacy and emergency contacts →A few questions
Questions you may have.
Can I come to therapy to understand myself better?
Yes. You do not need a diagnosis or a particular problem. You may want to explore who you are, how your experiences have shaped you, or why you make certain choices. We can think through a decision or a change in your life, at your pace. My role is to help you understand your own needs and values, so that the choices remain yours.
What happens after I enquire?
I will reply to your enquiry within 24 hours. We discuss availability and whether the support I offer seems right for you. If we agree to meet, we confirm the appointment and practical arrangements directly. Sending an enquiry does not commit you to a session. Read what we will arrange before we begin.
What can I expect from a first session?
We’ll talk about what brings you here and what you hope to get from therapy. You can ask questions and get a feel for how we might work together. There is no need to tell your whole story in one session.
How involved will you be in our conversations?
I will listen and give you room to think, but I also ask questions and share observations. We can talk about what feels helpful to you and adjust the pace together.
How often will we meet?
Most people start with weekly sessions. We can review this as we go.
Is therapy confidential?
Your privacy is central to my work. I will explain confidentiality, supervision and the limited safety or legal circumstances in which information may need to be shared before we begin. You can read about confidentiality and ethical care or ask me at any time.
What if the fee is difficult to afford?
You can ask privately when you enquire. I will let you know whether a reduced-fee appointment is available and agree the fee with you before we book.
Can I have sessions if I live outside the UK?
You are welcome to enquire about online sessions on Microsoft Teams from outside the UK. Please mention the country you would be in during sessions. Before agreeing to work together, I need to check that my insurance and the rules in that location allow it.
What if I need to cancel?
← BackPlease give at least 48 hours’ notice if you need to cancel. Late cancellations and missed sessions are charged at 50% of the agreed session fee. I may waive this in exceptional circumstances. Any outstanding fee needs to be resolved before another session can be booked.
Is the introductory call free?
Yes. I offer a free 15-minute introductory call on Teams, or Zoom if you prefer, with no obligation to book. It is a chance to ask questions and consider whether we might work well together. The first therapy appointment is charged at the usual session fee.
How do I pay?
Once we have agreed your appointment, I will send your confirmation, booking reference, bank details and card-payment link privately. Payment is due 24 hours before the session, or on booking if the appointment is sooner. You do not need to pay to enquire or have the free introductory call.
Booking & paymentLocation and availability
Finding a time that works.
When you enquire, let me know which days and times tend to work for you.
We’ll confirm a time together before your appointment is booked.
Online sessions take place on Microsoft Teams. I’ll send you a private meeting link before your appointment. Face-to-face appointments in Manchester will be available once the practice location is confirmed.

Send a brief enquiry about availability or anything you would like to clarify.
