FAQs

We will meet weekly, face-to-face in one of two locations in Hertfordshire: either St Albans city centre, or Stevenage Old Town.  Whichever option you choose, our meetings will last for 50 minutes and be in the same time and place each week.  This steady routine becomes part of the work itself – something you can rely on, and that's just for you.

We can decide together whether to take an open-ended approach or work towards a more focused timeframe – it all depends on what feels right for you and your circumstances.

I often work open-endedly with clients because when we’re not against the clock, we can follow what comes up and take detours when we need to.  This approach suits people who aren't yet sure what they're working towards, but are open to giving the process time to unfold and find its own shape.

Time-limited exploration can be helpful if you're looking to work towards something more specific, or within a particular timeframe. Where that's the case, I find 12-16 weeks is a good starting point — it gives the process room to breathe, and us enough space to really get to know what's going on, rather than just scratching the surface.

Whichever way we work, we can always revisit this together as things develop.

Our sessions are a place for you to be heard, and to truly listen to yourself.  

That means that I may not always rush to fill a pause.  This isn't about me sitting back in silence - it’s about active listening and making room for your own thoughts to surface.  This quiet reflection time might feel unfamiliar, and even strange at first, but it tends to feel more natural as we get to know one another.  

I’ll meet whatever you bring with empathy and curiosity and keep it confidential.  This is your space to explore, and we'll find our way through it together.

I offer a free 20-minute introductory call in which you can share what brings you to therapy and get a sense of me and how I do things. Once we begin working together, the fee will be £xxx per weekly session.
