Session Types available:
I aim to make therapy as accessible as possible and can offer the following session types:
Face to Face
Face to face sessions are available at my private and comfortable therapeutic space (see Location tab for further information and photographs).
I am also able in certain circumstances to attend at your home address or place of work.
Online
Online sessions via secure video platforms are becoming increasingly popular for a number of reasons. It allows clients to access therapists from different locations, allowing greater flexibility and cuts down on travelling time to and from appointments, especially if geographically isolated or suffer with mobility concerns.
Telephone
Telephone sessions are another alternative to remote therapy. It gives clients the freedom to have their session in whichever location they choose.
Email therapy can be useful for clients who struggle with real time interactions and also useful for shift workers in that they can access therapy at any time they choose. Communications and response times are agreed in advance and a secure, encrypted email service is utilised specifically for this session type.
