Frequently Asked Questions

Yes! I work exclusively online via Zoom, and sometimes telephone, as appropriate

I specialise in therapy with a body-mind approach. My specialties including supporting healing from narcissistic abuse and antagonistic relationship trauma, betrayal trauma and stress & burnout.

I offer Brainspotting and somatic focusing alongside talking therapy, to support a deeper healing from the life experiences that have left you feeling stuck, overwhelmed or disconnected.

My core training was Humanistic; integrative with a strong Person-Centred foundation, and so my work with you is always collaborative and based around what you feel would be the most meaningful way forwards.

I also offer Rewind Therapy for single event trauma.

Healing is a unique journey, and the length of therapy depends on your needs and what you'd like to gain from sessions. Some clients benefit from short-term therapy, while others find ongoing support helpful for deeper transformation.

90-minute therapy and Brainspotting sessions offer the opportunity for deeper processing and can lead to deeper breakthroughs in one session, potentially reducing the number of sessions needed overall

Yes. Your privacy is a top priority, and all sessions are confidential, except in cases where there is a legal or ethical obligation to report harm. You will receive a copy of my full T&C's and Privacy Policy before we begin working together. 

Yes! I offer a free 20 minute clarity call to help you decide which support would be best for you.

To ensure flexibility and protect your investment, I offer a 48 hour cancellation and rescheduling policy. 

If you provide at least 48 hours' notice before your session, you'll have the freedom to cancel or reschedule that session without any charges or session deduction from a pre-paid package. 

This gives you the peace of mind to adjust your schedule without financial penalty, ensuring you get the most value out of your experience, and it also helps me as I offer a limited number of spaces in my practice and it is very difficult for me to fill sessions with less than 48 hours notice.

Full T&C's will be given to you for your agreement before we begin working together.

Working with me is an agreement to these terms. 

You can book an initial clarity call through my website contact form

I do not accept insurance, but I can provide invoices if you wish to seek reimbursement from your provider or an employer. Please check with your insurance company to see if they cover therapy services in the first instance. In either circumstance, my contract would be with you.
