  • CBT is a practical, down-to-earth type of therapy that helps you make sense of how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours all connect.

    Instead of just talking about problems, we focus on giving you tools and strategies you can actually use in everyday life, especially for things like anxiety, low mood, stress, or feeling stuck in unhelpful patterns.

  • CBT can support you with a wide range of difficulties, including:

    • Anxiety and panic

    • Depression and low mood

    • Stress and burnout

    • Phobias

    • OCD

    • Sleep problems

    • Low self-esteem

    • Social Anxiety

    • Body Image Concerns

    • PTSD & Trauma

    Not sure if it’s right for you? That’s completely okay—feel free to get in touch and we can talk it through.

  • Yes—both options are available 😊

    You can choose:

    • Online sessions from the comfort of your own space

    • Face-to-face sessions in Wimbledon or Clapham

    Some people even like to mix and match depending on their week.

  • Sessions take place in Wimbledon in a private, calm, and comfortable setting. The room is located one minute walk from Wimbledon Station.

    The Clapham room is on Northcote Road, a short walk or bus from Clapham Junction.

    Once you’ve booked, I’ll send you all the details you need to find it easily.

  • Sessions last 50 minutes—enough time to do meaningful work without it feeling overwhelming.

  • This really depends on you and what you’re looking for.

    Some people come for a shorter period (around 6–12 sessions), while others prefer longer-term support. We’ll regularly check in on how things are going and adjust as needed.

  • You can book in a way that suits you:

    • Fill in the contact form on the website

    • Send me an email

    • Or request a quick intro call

    I’ll get back to you within 24–48 hours.

  • Yes, I offer a free 15-minute call.

    It’s a relaxed chat where we can:

    • Talk about what’s bringing you to therapy

    • Answer any questions you have

    • See if we feel like a good fit

    No pressure, no commitment.

  • How much do sessions cost?

    Sessions are priced as follows:

    • Face-to-face: £120

    • Online: £95

    Weekend sessions are also available, with a small additional fee.

    You’re very welcome to reach out if you’d like to talk through options.

  • The first session is really about getting to know you.

    We’ll:

    • Explore what’s been going on

    • Talk about what you’d like to change

    • Start shaping a plan together

    You don’t need to prepare anything and you can go at your own pace.

  • Yes, everything you share is kept private and confidential.

    The only exceptions are very rare situations where there’s a serious risk of harm, in line with professional guidelines.

  • Yes, it can be just as effective for many people.

    What really matters is feeling comfortable, building a good connection, and showing up consistently- whether that’s online or in person.

  • Nothing fancy, just:

    • A stable internet connection

    • A quiet, private space

    • A phone, tablet, or computer with a camera

    That’s it!

  • That’s completely normal. Most people feel this way at first.

    The initial call is a gentle way to dip your toe in. No pressure, just a conversation to see how it feels.

  • I take a collaborative, supportive, curious and practical approach.

    That means we work together. Not me telling you what to do - we will focus on helping you build tools you can actually use in your day-to-day life.

  • Often, yes - but nothing scary!

    CBT works best when you’re able to try things out between sessions, so I’ll usually suggest simple, practical exercises to help you build on what we’ve discussed.

    We’ll always agree on what feels manageable for you, and it’s very much a collaborative process. It’s not a test or something to get “right.”

  • I ask for 24 hours’ notice for online sessions and 48 hours’ notice for in-person sessions.

    Cancellations made after this period will be charged the normal session rate.

  • Yes! Iff availability allows, you can switch between the two depending on what works best for you.

  • This depends on current availability, but I aim to offer appointments as soon as possible.

    Just get in touch and I’ll let you know the next available slot.
