Norfolk Square, Brighton
First appointment
The first appointment may be more focused on your history and the issues you wish to seek therapy for. This is a very useful session, and it is best to be as honest as possible. Prior to your session please read and agree to terms set out in the welcome back below. We may also use some initial assessment tools to ensure therapy is working over time.

We may combine psychotherapy tools with aspects of CBT, trauma focused therapy & EMDR. This depends on the support needed.
How long does therapy take?
- I do offer short term solution focused work. Some issues can be helped in six to twelve sessions. This tends to work well for specific bouts of anxiety or stress, phobias and goals for improvement.
- Longer term work can be indicated. This means taking time to explore the emotions and moods affecting you today in the context of your family history. Once a place of safety is reached, we may then move forward into exploring some inner work.
- Commitment to therapy is a commitment to self care, and means putting yourself first. It’s important to honour the regular time set aside each week to create a safe space to explore
FAQs
- Can I change my time?
Sometimes we do need to reschedule times. This may mean moving the regular time to a different regular time. This does not mean changing the therapy day, on a weekly basis.
- Will I get charged if I don’t attend?
Appointments are normally charged, and can only be cancelled in the event of illness or emergency. Or you can give a weeks notice for non attendance, for example for holidays etc.
- Do I have to continue therapy if I feel like it’s not working?
No you do not have to continue, and this should be openly discussed and reviewed. You are not committed to anything, you are just allocated the time and the sessions.
- How do I pay?
You are responsible to pay for your session by bank transfer. A payment link can also be sent to you. See welcome pack below.
