Finding it hard to take the first step?

If you are finding it difficult to make that first step, please let me know what would help you cross the threshold. You are welcome to use the checkboxes in the form below, or send a short message simply saying: “I want to start, but I am finding it hard today.”

 
Knowing this helps us work in a way that best supports you from the very start, whether that means starting with a simple grounding exercise, keeping things highly structured, or just letting you settle into the space at your own pace.

How many coaching or therapy sessions will I need?

Everyone’s journey is unique. Some clients find clarity in 4 to 6 sessions, while others benefit from ongoing, long-term support. We will work together to find a pace that fits your personal goals.

Is our work together confidential?

Yes, our sessions are strictly confidential. The only exceptions are legal obligations or safeguarding concerns if there is a risk of serious harm to yourself or others. I’ve included a full explanation in the information pack I will send to you, but we can discuss these limits in detail during our first session. 

How do I book a session or consultation?

Getting started is simple. You can fill out the contact form below with your details and preferences, or drop me a direct message. I will get back to you within 24–48 hours to arrange our initial discussion.
