I provide a comfortable and professional therapy space within premises owned by an independently operated business, with which I have no professional affiliation. As I am not always based at this location, attendance is strictly by prior appointment.

I offer sessions via Microsoft Teams or Zoom, which you can join from any device with a camera, microphone, and internet connection. Research shows that online therapy can be just as effective as in-person sessions, and I will provide any necessary links or materials in advance to make the process simple and supportive.

Please note that I am unable to offer crisis support. If you feel in need of urgent help you should contact your GP or dial 111 and ask for an urgent GP appointment. If someone's life is at risk, or if you don't feel that you can keep yourself or someone else safe, then you should dial 999 or go to your local Accident & Emergency department.
