Yes, you do need an appointment for all sessions.  You can make an appointment by contacting me on 07969656763.  

Yes, I offer counselling, texting, IFS and EMDR sessions online if you are not able to attend face to face.  

I normally offer weekly sessions, however this can vary depending on the type of therapy and your personal requirements.  

Counselling sessions usually last up to 60 minutes. 

IFS and EMDR vary from 1 / 1.5 to 2 hours depending on individual sessions. 

The amount of sessions needed is on a case by case basis as each individual client is different.  

No, you don't need to be referred by a professional or organisation.  You are able to self-refer.  

All sessions are confidential.  However, there may be certain situations where I will have to break confidentiality.  These are: 

• Disclosing anything that could pose a serious risk of causing harm to yourself or others 
• A proposed act of terrorism 
• Money laundering
• Disclosing risk to a child or vulnerable adult 
• If my files are subpoenaed to court 

If any of the above situations occur, I will discuss breaking confidentiality with you beforehand where possible.  

My business is not an emergency service.
