As a clinical psychologist my choice of treatments offered are influenced by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines, current evidence base and best practice. I also take into account your personal situation and psychological style.
I offer both face-to-face and online therapy and we can discuss which is more suitable to you.
I offer face-to-face and online supervision to other professionals and this can be arranged upon request.
When we meet for the first time we’ll have an initial assessment over one to three sessions to discuss your difficulties together.
We can then make a plan for therapy, including how many sessions you might need, how regularly we’ll meet, and when we will review this process.
Each therapy session typically lasts 50 minutes.
