No; you can contact me directly, although some insurers require one

If you are considering therapy and would like to ask about my availability, please get in touch with me via the confidential contact form. I will respond to your email as soon as I can. If I have space to accept a new referral, I will offer you a time for a 15 min telephone call. This allows us to discuss your needs, address any questions you may have, and see if we are a good fit for working together.

I offer time-limited or open-ended psychotherapy. The duration of therapy will depend on the depth and complexity of the issues you want to resolve. Sessions are scheduled for 50 minutes, commonly known as a "therapy hour".

What we discuss is confidential, and I will only share information about you with your consent. The exception is where there is a serious risk of harm to you or someone else, when I have a professional duty to involve other services. Wherever possible, I will discuss this with you first.

Please contact me directly for information about fees. I am registered with Cigna, Bupa Global, WPA and Allianz Healthcare, and am not able to accept AXA, Vitality, Aviva or Bupa UK. Sessions are billed to you directly, and I provide receipts for you to claim from your insurer. Please confirm your authorisation and cover with your provider before we begin.

Therapy relies on predictability and consistency within a clear frame. Your session is a fixed weekly appointment held for you, so a 48-hour cancellation policy applies to all missed or cancelled sessions.
