How long does therapy last?
I see clients for as few or as many sessions as they wish. Initially, we would start with a free 30-minute introductory session, which can be conducted in-person, over the phone or via Zoom. If we agree we're a good match, I'd suggest committing to an initial block of six sessions, then seeing how we go from there. You can stop whenever you like. 

​

Sessions are generally once a week.

​

How much does therapy cost?
I charge £70 per 50-minute session. You can pay by bank transfer.

 

Where are you based? Can I see you online?
I see in-person clients from purpose-designed therapy rooms in Hackney Central and Dalston. If you'd prefer online sessions, I have some availability over Zoom. Phone sessions are also possible.

​

What if I need to take a holiday or get sick?

That's fine. There is no charge if you cannot attend a session, so long as you provide 48 hours notice.

​

My schedule moves around each week - can I still see you?
I've found that therapy works best if clients commit to the same hour each week, but I understand that modern life makes that difficult. Where possible, I will try to be flexible.

​

What type of therapy do you offer?
My core training is in existential therapy. Existential is one of several types ("modalities") of psychotherapy, alongside psychodynamic, CBT, Jungian etc. There is much overlap between modalities, but existential is distinct in some ways. It is rooted in the humanities (existentialist philosophy) rather than the sciences, so is more interested in exploring our human complexity than putting us all in diagnostic boxes. It can be particularly useful for clients wrestling with issues around meaning, choice, mortality, freedom, uncertainty and isolation.

 

Do you work with couples or under-18s?
Not at this time.​​​
