  • I don´t work directly with health insurance providers, but if your insurer has a reimbursement policy, please contact them about the possibility of a partial refund. In this instance, you will pay for therapy upfront, and I will provide you with a monthly invoice to submit to your insurer. Please note that I cannot guarantee reimbursement.

  • Payments are processed via the secure booking system on the Client Area page, where you can choose to pay with debit/credit card or PayPal. This makes it easy for you to manage your regular bookings. I require payment in advance of each session to reserve your slot - this helps me reduce no-shows and maintains continuity of your therapy or coaching programme.

  • To assure the continuity and effectiveness of your therapy plan, I require at least 48 hours notice, so that I can offer the session time to another client.

  • This will depend on your objectives and the concerns that you want to work though. For Psychological Therapy, I usually recommend 6-8 weekly sessions to start with. For Executive Coaching each session tends to be longer (90 minutes) and less frequent (bi-monthly).

    * Stress and anxiety

    * Life transitions and grief

  • Psychologist, psychotherapist, psychiatrist, coach: what’s the difference?

    If you are considering undertaking therapy or coaching, you will have already come across all the different types of mental health professionals and may be confused about which approach suits you best. This is understandable, as, despite their differences, they often have a lot in common. This summary below explains the key approaches in each profession.

    PSYCHIATRY

    Psychiatrists are medical doctors who specialise in mental health (from depression to more acute behavioural disorders) In addition to diagnosis and treatment, they can also prescribe and monitor medication. They will often refer patients for psychotherapy either as an alternative to, or in conjunction with, medication.

    PSYCHOLOGY

    A psychologist is someone who specialises in the interaction between the brain, emotions and behaviour: how people think, act, react and interact and the feelings, thoughts and motivations for their actions. Psychologists often also deliver therapy but may differ in their practice from psychotherapists in that they also look for biological explanations for the conditions that they are presented with. Psychologists do not prescribe medication.

    PSYCHOTHERAPY

    Psychotherapy is often referred to as the talking therapy as it entails sessions that consist of a trained therapist listening in order to help their client process the issues that are causing them distress. A psychologist, psychiatrist or another mental health professional may be called a psychotherapist if they have training in psychotherapy. There are many types of psychotherapy. The type that's right for you depends on your situation. Read this Mayoclinic article for an overview.

    COACHING

    Coaching is an appropriate avenue for those who are not experiencing significant emotional or mental health concerns. Unlike therapy, coaching aims to help people who are already functioning at ordinary or even higher levels work through emotional discomfort and make additional gains. A coach can help you perform better physically, emotionally, professionally, and socially. They help you unlock potential or find the drivers and motivations within to ensure that you are able to identify and realise your goals.
