FAQ

What happens in the Intro Call?
We’ll usually start with a free intro call.
This is a chance for us to meet, see if we feel like a good fit, and answer any questions you might have. It isn’t a therapy session, and there’s absolutely no pressure to commit.
During the call, we’ll have a quick hello and you can share a little about what you’re looking for support with.
I’ll give you an overview of how I work, including what sessions are like, my approach, and how booking works. There’s also space for you to ask questions or check anything you’re unsure about.
The call is 15 minutes, online, and informal. You don’t need to prepare anything.
You’re welcome to keep your camera off, use the chat box, stim, or communicate in whatever way feels most comfortable for you.
After the call, if it feels like a good fit, you can go ahead and book your therapy sessions. If not, that’s completely okay - you can take time to think, and I’ll always be honest if I think a different type of support might suit you better.
See the ‘How much does therapy cost’ question, for more details on the booking process throughout therapy.

How much does therapy cost?
There are two ways to book and pay for therapy sessions:
0. Getting Started: The Free Intro Call
I generally always start therapy with a free 15-minute intro call. This is the ‘Free 15-Minute Intro Call’ option on my bookings page.
If clients would like to go ahead after their intro call, they can then book and pay for therapy sessions in the following ways:1. Option A: Booking 3 Sessions at a time
Sessions are £120 each.
They can be booked by selecting the ‘3x Treatment Sessions’ option on my bookings page.
You will then book the first session.
Next, use the free ‘Prepaid Treatment Session’ option, to book the other 2 sessions - You can book these straight away, or book them nearer the time if preferred.2. Option B: Booking each session separately
Use the ‘Single Therapy Session Booking’ option.
Sessions are £130 each.All booking payments include a 30% deposit, which is non-refundable.

How do I book therapy sessions?
Click the “Book a Session” button to get started.
After your initial intro call, you’ll receive a link to book treatment sessions. These are usually booked in blocks of 3.
See the ‘How much does therapy cost?’ question, for more details.
All bookings and payments are made securely through WriteUpp using Stripe.
-
Do I need a diagnosis to start therapy?
No. You do not need a formal diagnosis of mental health or ADHD/ Autism to access this therapy.
If you're struggling and want to better understand yourself or your experiences, you're welcome here.
-
Can I stim, bring notes, or turn my camera off?
Absolutely. Therapy should work for your brain, not against it.
You’re welcome to stim, take notes, use comfort items, or keep your camera off — whatever helps you feel safe and supported.
-
What if I need to cancel or reschedule?
Cancellations with more than 48 hours’ notice will retain your deposit, and the rest will be refunded.
Cancellations with less than 48 hours’ notice or missed sessions will be charged in full.
If you're more than 15 minutes late, your session may need to be rescheduled and counted as a cancellation. -
Can I bring a carer or support person?
Yes. If you need a carer present for access reasons (e.g., due to a disability), they’re welcome in all sessions. For support purposes, a family member or friend can join your initial intro call, but clients must be able to communicate in therapy — As, where this is more difficult, a different kind of support may be more appropriate.
-
Is this therapy in person or online?
All therapy is online only, via secure video call.
I do not offer in-person sessions at the moment, but may in the future.
-
How often are sessions?
Sessions are typically once a week at the same time.
Occasionally, we may be able to move sessions depending on availability, but regular attendance at a set time each week is important for consistency.
-
Do you work with under-16s?
I work with clients aged 16 and over.
I have no upper age limit.
-
Is this a crisis service?
No. I am not able to offer crisis support.
If you're in immediate danger or need urgent help, please contact your GP, NHS 111, or appropriate emergency services.
-
Do you offer support for burnout, RSD, or executive functioning?
Yes. We can explore all of these areas in therapy, and sessions will be tailored to your unique needs and experiences.
-
Do I need to be neurodivergent to work with you?
Not at all. While I specialise in ADHD and autism, I’m qualified to work with anyone over 16. I offer evidence-based psychotherapy for: Depression, Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Social anxiety, Health anxiety, OCD, Panic attacks, Phobias, Low self-esteem, Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) and Single-incident PTSD.
-
What Type of Therapy do you offer?
My primary modality is CBT as, when sufficiently adapted, I have found works best with ADHD and Autism. I also have training/ experience in Acceptance Commitment Therapy, Perinatal Psychotherapy, Compassion Focussed Therapy, Coaching, Counselling Psychology and working with Long Term health Conditions.
-
Is my information kept confidential?
Yes. Everything we talk about in sessions is confidential, except where there's a risk of harm or a legal obligation. Your information is securely stored and handled in line with GDPR.
-
What’s your cancellation policy?
If you need to cancel or reschedule a session, I ask for at least 48 hours' notice. Cancellations with less notice are charged in full. If you're running more than 15 minutes late, the session may need to be rescheduled — and this would also be treated as a late cancellation. I understand that life can be unpredictable, so we’ll always aim for flexibility where possible.
-
How do I know if CBT is right for me?
CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) is a structured, goal-focused therapy that helps you understand the links between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. It can be especially helpful for anxiety, low mood, OCD, panic, low self-esteem and more. If you’re unsure, we can talk it through in your initial 15-minute intro call (this session is free of charge), and I’ll always be honest if I think something else might be a better fit for you.
My therapy is adapted to meet neurodivergent needs, and other modalities are also drawn upon. For example, I also use techniques more akin to ADHD/ Autism coaching, where helpful.
