About me

I offer ONLINE counselling and psychotherapy currently via Zoom for BUPA patients so if you are looking for in the room please search for someone who provides it.

How to start?

Call me or use the contact form on my website.
Either way I need the information on the contact form as that allows me to see if I have availability that matches yours
My practice hours are Monday to Thursday 10.00 to finish by 18.00 but not on Monday afternoons.

Please
1.identify if you are coming via BUPA.
2. specify why you are coming (ie what it is that concerns you and brings you to seek support? You do this in the large text box. eg anxiety depression etc
3.how many sessions you have been referred for.
4. If you let me know if the time slots/days are firmly the only ones you can attend I will let you know if I have availability and if not you can locate someone else whose diary matches yours.
If however it's to give a general idea eg I prefer Mornings on such an such a day then by all means let me know so I can see if I have a slot that might work for you.
I work on a weekly consecutive basis unless I am away or unwell and any unattended sessions by you (whatever the reason) are reimbursable by you at the BUPA rate of �60 as BUPA do not pay for unattended sessions.

That would mean you have already engaged with BUPA to get an authorisation code. if it has been some time since you received an authorisation please circle back to BUPA to check if it is still active or if they need to provide another one.

I work with individuals over 18 only. BUPA does not authorise couples therapy (and neither does any other insurer whom I work with) although I provide couples therapy at my usual rate. Please check my website which is most up to date for details in that regard.

Sessions are 50 minutes long and on the same day and time each week (if you work a shift pattern please identify yourself in that way) that we find a mutually agreeable slot. They are weekly and consecutively to provide you with ongoing and effective therapy so you will generally have an idea ahead of time or I likely won't be able to accomodate you.
