Appointments
I offer private, individual psychotherapy and clinical hypnosis appointments for adults experiencing persistent pain and anxiety.
Appointments are tailored to your individual circumstances and goals, bringing together careful assessment and appropriate therapeutic work.
All appointments take place online and are available to adults throughout the UK.
The initial appointment
Our first appointment includes a detailed assessment of your difficulties, an exploration of your goals and the beginning of therapeutic work, where appropriate. It is not simply an assessment session.
Before we meet, you will be asked to complete and return a confidential health questionnaire. This helps me understand your medical history, current difficulties and wider circumstances, so that we can use our time together effectively.
Appointments usually last approximately one hour. The initial appointment may take a little longer, and I will explain this when arranging your booking.
Follow-up appointments
Subsequent appointments usually last approximately one hour.
Appointments are arranged individually, with no requirement to book or pay for a package of sessions in advance.
Some people find a relatively small number of appointments helpful, while others benefit from working together for longer. We review progress as we go and adapt our approach according to your needs and goals.
Before booking
If you're considering working with me, I will usually suggest a brief, complimentary telephone conversation before arranging an appointment.
This gives you an opportunity to tell me a little about what you're seeking help with, ask any initial questions and explore whether my approach is likely to be appropriate for you.
