Getting started

If you’re wondering whether therapy might be helpful, you are very welcome to get in touch.

We can arrange an initial conversation to explore what you are looking for and whether I am the right fit for you.

I welcome self-referrals, as well as referrals from GPs, insurance providers, solicitors, clinics, and other healthcare professionals.
