FAQS

What to expect at the first session?

The first session gives us an opportunity to meet and for you to get a sense of whether I am someone you'd like to work with. I will take a few details and explain how the process works. If I have concerns about us working together I may need to consult with my supervisor and get back to you. If we decide to continue we will arrange a regular time to meet.

How often will I have appointments?

Sessions take 50 minutes and take place once a week.  
There is no limit to the number of sessions, it's tailored around you. When you feel like you are moving towards the end of therapy we will discuss it and bring the work to a close in a managed way.

Is what I say confidential?

Yes, what is discussed during your session remains private and confidential and is not shared with any other individual or organisation, without your prior approval. The only time confidentiality is broken is in exceptional circumstances, where there is a serious risk of harm to yourself or to others. If this situation arose, I would try to involve you in any action that would need to be taken to ensure your safety and of others.

Do you comply with any recognised standards?

I am a trainee member of the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and I abide by the UKCP code of ethics
