Start here.
Taking the first step can feel daunting.
You may have been thinking about reaching out for some time, or perhaps something has recently changed that has made you realise you'd like some support.
Whether you're seeking help with trauma, emotional difficulties, life transitions, understanding yourself more deeply, or exploring ADHD or autism assessment, I aim to make the process as straightforward and comfortable as possible.
If you'd like to enquire about appointments, assessment options, suitability, or fees, please get in touch. We can discuss what you're looking for and whether my approach may be a good fit for you.

What happens next?
After you get in touch, I will respond with information about availability and next steps.
In our first appointment, we can discuss:
what has brought you to seek support
what you are hoping to achieve
whether therapy, assessment, or another form of support is most appropriate
practical details such as fees, appointments, and telehealth options
Finding the right psychologist is important. Therapy works best when you feel comfortable, understood, and able to work collaboratively with your psychologist.

Frequency of Sessions
We know from research that how often you attend therapy can make a real difference — particularly in the early stages. That’s why I suggest (where possible) attending weekly sessions to begin with.
Studies consistently show that people attending weekly sessions experience faster improvement and are less likely to lose progress along the way, compared to those attending fortnightly. This makes sense when you think about how therapy actually works: with longer gaps between sessions, it's easy for new insights and strategies to fade before they've had a chance to take hold, and more session time ends up being spent "catching up" on what's happened in between, rather than moving forward.
While therapy can still be effective at a lower frequency, it typically takes longer to get there, and the risk of stalling, going backwards or dropping out is higher. For this reason, we recommend starting with weekly sessions wherever possible, particularly at the beginning of treatment, to help you build momentum and see meaningful change sooner.
Sometimes life changes us. Sometimes we're the ones seeking change. Therapy offers a place to understand yourself more deeply, reconnect with what matters, and move forward with greater clarity.
