All of my sessions are now online. Research suggests that online therapy can be just as effective as face-to-face sessions and it is working really well with patients at present. There are a number of benefits to online therapy including the flexibility to fit sessions in around other commitments, such as having a session during a lunch break. People feel comfortable and safe at home which is helpful when discussing difficult or upsetting issues. It removes travel time which makes it easier as well as removing any travel-related costs such as parking.
Fees
Sessions are 50 minutes and cost £100. I am registered with the majority of private healthcare providers so please do get in touch if you would like to use insurance to fund your treatment
The first few sessions together are focused on gaining a clear understanding of the main issue which has brought you to therapy. It will include looking at the current problem and how it is affecting you on a day-to day-basis. To gain further understanding it also involves looking back to earlier experiences that may have shaped your way of looking at or experiencing yourself, the world, or those around you.
I take time over the assessment phase and work hard to really understand you and the problem you are struggling with. We will talk through recent examples where the problem has effected you to break the situations down for a detailed understanding. I place importance on looking back into your history to get a depth to your story and help the treatment to be as effective and thorough as possible.
Treatment Sessions
Sessions 3 up to 20+
In these sessions, I will look at teaching you new tools, techniques, and approaches to help you through your current issue. It will involve a mixture of cognitive and behavioural techniques, they will be guided by the evidence-based protocols specific to your issue but they will be tailored to you.
At the end of each session, we will agree on homework tasks for you to practice your new techniques, make progress and see positive change across the week. I will send across a detailed email after the session covering key learnings, insights and a clear explanation of the homework, along with any additional reading or resource materials.
The final session focuses on pulling everything together into a Relapse Prevention Plan. This document will be your guide going forward and is an incredibly powerful tool. It will include your learnings across therapy, plans and structures for maintaining your progress, as well as future goals to help you to continue to grow and move forward.

6 month package - 3 sessions at 2 month intervals
