Frequently Asked Questions

Where are you based?

I work from a private therapy room in Elham, Kent. The exact location is shared once we confirm an in-person session. I also provide online therapy for clients across the UK and Worldwide.

How do I get started?

You can contact me by email, phone (call/text/Whatsapp) or using the Contact form on this website. Then, we’ll start with a free 10-minute phone call (Initial Consultation) to talk briefly about what you’re looking for and whether it feels like a good fit. If it does, we can arrange a complimentary 50-minute Introductory Session to go into things in more depth and decide together whether to continue. There is no pressure to commit.

What happens in the first session?

The introductory session is a chance to talk in more depth about what’s brought you to therapy and what you’d like support with. You don’t need to prepare anything.

How long will I be in therapy?

It depends on what you need. Some people come for a short period of focused work. Others come longer-term. We review things as we go so it stays useful.

How often are sessions?

For most people, sessions are usually once a week at the same time each week.

Is therapy confidential?

Yes, everything you share is confidential. The only exceptions are if there is a serious risk of harm to you or someone else, or if I am required to share information by law. If this ever came up, I would try to discuss it with you first. We will discuss this further during our Introductory Session.

How do I pay?

I will provide bank details for payment. Cash is also accepted.

What if I need to cancel a session?

I have a 48-hour cancellation policy. If you cancel with less than 48 hours’ notice, the full session fee is payable. This is because the time is reserved specifically for you. If you need to rearrange, please let me know as soon as possible.

Can I stop therapy whenever I want?

Yes, you can stop at any time. If possible, we would usually have a final session to bring things to a proper close.

Do you offer group therapy?

Not yet, but I will be launching a men’s group soon. This will be a small, in-person group for men in the Folkestone and Canterbury areas, offering a space to talk openly and hear from others in a similar position. It will not be a workshop or a course but just a steady, facilitated space where men can speak honestly, listen, and make sense of what’s going on together.

If you’d like to be notified when it starts, you’re welcome to get in touch.

Do you work with people with special educational needs?

Yes. I have experience supporting people with a range of additional needs including ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia, learning disabilities and language and social communication difficulties.

Who is your low-cost service for?

This service is for people who require income support or may have difficulty paying for therapy. If you think this is relevant to you, please bring it to my attention during the initial consultation to discuss options.
