Therapy enquiry

I do not currently have space for new clients. Please feel free to check with me in a few weeks.

Please only share very brief details of any problems you are experiencing in this form, particularly as I may not currently have space available.

Here are the usual steps:

1. Once I receive your enquiry, I’ll be in touch to let you know what space I currently have. If that space matches, I will send potential dates for us to have an initial 10-15 minute chat to get a sense of whether we feel we’d be a good fit. If I don’t have space, I don’t offer the chat, as I don’t feel it’s useful. I don’t hold a waiting list. If I don’t have space available, I will let you know and, according to GDPR, delete your information securely. You are welcome to ask me again in a month or so if any space has become available.

2. Then we have the 10-15 minute chat online. This is free. This might result in me suggesting an alternative therapist; where possible, I will offer a referral suggestion that I feel would best meet your needs.

3. If, in the chat, we feel like we are a good fit, then we have an online consultation where we explore your goals for therapy a little deeper, and you share some of your history and background. This is £50. At this point, we also consider whether we are a good fit.

4. If, after the initial consultation, we feel we are a good fit, we arrange to start sessions together and agree on a set number to start with to continue to check if we work well together. Usually this is 6 sessions. After that, we have a review to reflect on what we’ve done, how the therapeutic relationship is going and whether to book in more sessions.

   Please note:

• When sharing what you hope to get out of therapy, please do not share details of past experiences. Instead, keep it simple and focused on what you want. If you want to state a past experience, please use the title only rather than a lengthy description.

• The integrity of your information is important to me, therefore if I contact you to let you know there is no space available, or if the space I have doesn’t fit your availability, I will delete your information from my files.

• If a space is listed on my website as being available, please be aware that in the time that you complete this form, there is a possibility that the space is already taken.

• I will only offer initial consultations if a potential space that matches both our availability and where a space is available in your pay band, is available so that I don't waste your time. However, the initial consultation is not the start of therapy, it is to decide if we are a good fit. It may be that I suggest a referral to another therapist or service following our meeting.
