How will I know if you're the right therapist?
I provide a free 15-minute consultation to potential clients who are considering therapy. This is an opportunity for us to talk about your needs and for you to ask any questions. The consultation can take place through Microsoft Teams, Zoom, or over the telephone.
When are you available for therapy and where are you located?
My private practice clinic is open from 8 am to 4 pm, Monday to Friday. I offer both online appointments and face-to-face consultations, depending on your preference. My face-to-face clinic is located in central London, specifically in Liverpool Street, and is open on Wednesdays between 8 am until 3pm.
How do I book an appointment?

How long will the appointments last?
Your first appointment will last approximately 50 minutes. This session usually informs later therapeutic sessions, but it can also be offered as a one-off consultation. Follow-up appointments will last 50 minutes.
Will anyone need to know I'm coming to see you?
The service offered is entirely confidential. It is against the ethical code of conduct to discuss clients or their details in any way with any other person. There are two exceptions:
Professional Supervision: I have regular supervision with another clinical psychologist as required in our code of conduct. I will discuss clients in these sessions in order for the supervisor to support the therapy offered and so ensure clients are receiving the best possible care. All supervision discussions are, however, anonymous.
Risk: Should any clients disclose information to me that indicates either they or another person are at risk of serious harm, we have a duty to disclose this information to a pertinent third party (e.g., GP, Social Services, next of kin if under age 16, etc.). However, I will never make any such disclosures without informing the client in the first instance.
How do I go about cancelling an appointment?
Appointments cancelled by email more than 24 hours beforehand (not including weekends) are not charged. Cancellations with less than 24 hours notice or non-attendance will be charged at the full rate because it is then difficult to offer the appointment to another client.
How much does a session cost?
Individual sessions: £120 per 50 minute session.
All fees are payable in advance of the session.
Can I arrange treatment through my health insurance?
To claim under your insurance policy, you must have a pre-authorisation code to start your treatment. Please be aware that you are responsible for paying any insurance excess.
I accept clients using the following insurers:
- Aviva
- Aetna
- BUPA
- Cigna and Evernorth
- Vitality
- WPA
