Hours
My working hours as a therapist and supervisor are:

  • 10.30am - 6.30pm on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays

  • 9.30am - 1pm on Wednesdays

I do not work as a therapist/ supervisor on Wednesday afternoons, Fridays or at weekends, other than workshops.

I take regular breaks, usually 1-2 weeks every 6-8 weeks throughout the year, a four week break (usually in July/ August) and time away for CPD and training. I let clients know of any absence with as much notice as possible. Please do bear this in mind when you are considering whether I am a good fit for your needs.

Get in touch.

If you send me an e-mail: I usually respond to e-mails within a week. Much of my work is away from a computer and so I am not able to answer straight away. If I am away on professional development or holiday, you will receive an automatic e-mail response informing you when I will return to work.

If you send me a text: I usually respond to texts within a week unless I am away on professional development or holiday. If I am away, you will not receive any response until I get back to work. If you don't receive a response to your text, please send me an e-mail.


Important: If you do not want me to respond to your e-mail, call, or text, please tell me explicitly in your message.
I am the only person who has access to my e-mails.. However, emails are generally not guaranteed to be secure. Therefore, please do not include personal or sensitive information about you or a child.

I do not offer a crisis service.
If you or a child you care for is experiencing suicidal thoughts and is making plans to end your life, please go to your nearest A&E.
