Beginning Therapy

Contact, cost and location

Almost all of my therapeutic work is conducted online as I work with a wide range of clients from around the world.

I come from the integrative counselling tradition before receiving my Masters in Body Psychotherapy and now include the somatic experiences of the body in the work.

I have a thorough appreciation of the contributing factors to voice problems and have a specialised understanding of the mechanical components related to “when things go wrong”, and what those things might be in a medical context. This means I believe that it is a complex interplay of issues that lead to our voice breaking down. It’s not just all in your head.

Beginning Therapy

Before entering therapy, it is a good idea to have been medically cleared. This is so that any medical issues are treated in the appropriate time frame, rather than treatment being delayed.

This means you must have seen a Medical Doctor and have received either no formal diagnosis or have been diagnosed with a functional, neurological or psychogenic-based stress disorder. Once this is done, then the treatment can begin.

I do not work with people living with psychosis, schizophrenia or personality disorders.

02

6-week trial

Secondly, if you feel we might be a good fit, we agree to test the hypothesis for 6 weeks. This time is a trial period where you and I find out whether or not there is a possibility for meaningful change for your problem.

03

Contract for 18 months

Then, we contract to work together in medium to long term work. This means we agree to around 18 months once or twice a week before we review our progress.

Change your mind and the body will follow.

Privacy and confidentiality

This therapeutic space is incredibly confidential; from liaising with my assistant to the sessions themselves, everything is conducted in a private and entirely confidential manner.
This means your details will never be shared, or the details of your case will never be shared, (unless this is formally agreed to as a teaching or research case study).

Confidentiality is of the utmost importance to me in fostering a space where you can completely express yourself.
