A BIT MORE ABOUT MY PRACTICE & HOW I CAN HELP

A bit more about my practice and how I can help

I work with a range of clients, from those carrying complex, layered material to others carrying out a life audit - meeting all with clarity, containment, and a deep psychodynamic, humanistic frame.

I understand trauma, ADHD, and relational damage not as labels, but as lived psychic realities. I don’t pathologise or dilute.

I am neurodivergent and trauma-informed. I don’t rescue. I walk beside and hope my presence is felt in the way I hold structure, precision, and space.

I help by offering a structured, boundaried space where we can look clearly at what’s happening - and what’s happened. The work is steady, relational, and often deep. We move at the pace the work requires.

I offer a complimentary brief call or zoom of around 20 minutes ahead of potentially booking your first session - which can be seen as a trial session to assess at more depth suitability on both our sides (standard fees apply for this session).

In your initial session, the experience will vary depending on whether you’ve had therapy before. Therapy is different from typical social interactions; it doesn’t follow the usual social norms where both parties share about themselves. Instead, I focus entirely on you. I’ll introduce the structure of our therapy sessions, explaining that they are client-led. You’ll often start the sessions, directing the conversation, while I hold the expertise to guide and facilitate the process. This approach ensures that we create a therapeutic alliance that is tuned to your needs, fostering a safe and productive environment.

Session Duration and Frequency

The duration and frequency of therapy sessions can vary greatly depending on your individual needs and goals. A standard therapy session lasts 50 minutes, often referred to as a therapy hour. For some clients, therapy may be a long-term, deeply fulfilling journey that spans years, allowing for profound exploration and growth. For others, therapy might be a more focused, time-limited process aimed at addressing specific issues. There is no one-size-fits-all approach; the length and frequency of our work together are determined by what is in your best interest, your intentions, and how deeply you wish to explore your inner world. We will regularly discuss and reassess your needs and goals to ensure that our work remains aligned with your personal journey.
