I separated some frequent questions regarding therapy and hiring procedures. I hope all the questions are there, but if you still have any, please get in touch. I will reply as soon as possible.

​

1. DO YOU OFFER ONLINE SESSIONS OR FACE-TO-FACE SESSIONS? ARE YOU FLEXIBLE?

I offer both online and face-to-face sessions, and I'm flexible in how we work together - some clients prefer to meet in person, others online, and many choose a mix of both depending on their needs and schedule.

 

2. WHAT ARE YOUR  WORKING HOURS AND WHERE ARE YOU BASED?

​

I am based in Surbiton, where I offer face-to-face sessions on Mondays from the afternoon into the evening, and on Fridays from late morning to early afternoon. Online sessions can be arranged more flexibly during the week to suit your schedule.

​

3. WHAT CAN I EXPECT AT MY FIRST SESSION?

​

Many people are intimidated by the thought of starting therapy. There can be a lot of concerns about what to expect.  I hope to make things as comfortable and relaxing for you as possible.  During the first session, we will discuss your hopes for therapy and explore what your goals are.  There will be some basic paperwork to complete before the first session. The paperwork can either be sent to you via email or alternatively, you may complete the paperwork at the first session, depending on the option that is most convenient for you. It can be helpful to write down any questions you may have and bring them with you to the first session.

 

4. HOW LONG WILL MY THERAPY LAST?

​

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is designed to be short-term, lasting between 6 to 20 sessions. Most people begin by attending therapy once a week, although some choose to attend twice, or even once a month. Again, this is completely up to you and we shall discuss frequency at your first appointment.   The therapeutic relationship between you and your therapist is at the heart of the healing process.  I want your experience with therapy to be a positive one

 

5. WHO IS YOUR CLIENT GROUP?

​

I offer individual therapy to young adults (18+ years old), adults and older adults.  I welcome partners, parents and children to join the sessions if this has been agreed upon and constitutes part of the treatment plan.

 

6. HOW MUCH IS YOUR FEE AND DO YOU ACCEPT INSURANCE?

​

My fee is £100 for a 50-minute session. I am registered with BUPA, Curian Medical Services, and Resolve Health Services. I can also provide a receipt to support any reimbursement you may be entitled to through your insurance provider.

 

7. DO YOU PRESCRIBE MEDICATION?

​

I do not prescribe medication.  You would need to contact your primary care doctor or a psychiatrist for medication purposes.  If you are already taking medication, I can discuss coordinating care with your doctor.

 

8. IS THERAPY CONFIDENTIAL?

​

Yes, the content of our sessions is confidential and I shall inform you of the legal and ethical limits to this.
