What I Offer

Therapeutic Services

Individual therapy (adolescents, young adults, and adults)

Relationship therapy: I draw on different models of couple therapy in my work - the Tavistock model and Emotionally-Focused Couples Therapy. I have experience working with couples, people in open relationships and those who consider themselves polyamorous.

Specialist LGBTQIA+ therapy: Whilst I am trained to work with people across all walks of life, I have acquired further extensive training with Pink Therapy for working with the LGBTQIA+ community. My approach with LGBTQIA+ folk is largely the same as with all clients (depth-focused), however, it is Queer-affirming and tailored so that the unique challenges faced by that group are held in mind.

Confidentiality:

It isn't uncommon for people to be concerned about confidentiality given that what they discuss often concerns private or intimate details about their lives. Therapy is a confidential process, however, I attend regular supervision in which I discuss the work anonymously. No private details are shared in this environment, and it serves as a way of reviewing the work so that I can ensure that my attempts at helping you are sound.

There are only specific circumstances in which I may have to breach confidentiality:

1) You provide me with information that makes me think that you or someone else is at risk of harm

2) Situations required by law

Cancellation policy:

Once we have agreed to start therapy, your slot will be reserved for you. All cancelled sessions are therefore payable in full.

Fees:

Please contact me directly to discuss fees. I have a limited number of vacancies for those in financial need.

Writing

I am available to write specialist articles or advice columns requiring a psychological perspective. I pay close attention to the unconscious aspects of our experiences, so my perspective would be suited to those organisations or individuals wanting a more in-depth consideration of the issue at hand.

I have also written academic articles, available here:

A systematic review and meta-analysis of interventions incorporating behaviour change techniques to promote breastfeeding among postpartum women (2019): https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31117897/

Workshops

I am available for talks and workshops on topics related to my mission - that is, a commitment to bringing a more thoughtful and in-depth approach to issues in contemporary life. I am committed to making complicated and academic ideas more accessible so that they can be made use of by everyone.

Lecturing

I have worked as a Lecturer and Research Supervisor on Doctoral Psychology training programmes previously. As a result of my experience, I am well-equipped to offer ad-hoc teaching at Universities or on Psychotherapy programmes, particularly on the topic of psychodynamic thinking in clinical practice.

I have specialist knowledge and skills for working with the LGBTQIA+ community (and diversity more broadly) so am also able to offer teaching that up-skills trainees or qualified clinicians for working with these themes.
