How It Works
I offer two forms of therapy: one-to-one and through correspondence.
One-to-one in-person therapy
This usually takes place in weekly 50-minute sessions, in my clinic in Stroud, Gloucestershire, or an online video call.
One-to-one correspondence therapy by email
Email therapy develops a therapeutic relationship through scheduled written exchanges. We agree times - for example, you write by Wednesday, I respond by Friday. Each exchange runs around three pages (roughly 1000 words).
The writing itself is therapeutic. Putting experience into words creates different access to what you're feeling and thinking than spoken conversation allows. The exchange has rhythm and continuity; you can return to previous letters as part of the work. And as with in-person sessions, stories and texts naturally become part of our written conversation - references that help illuminate what you're exploring.
We use secure encrypted email (ProtonMail) to keep our exchanges confidential. It's free and simple to set up, and I'll send you instructions.
What it costs
Both one-to-one in-person and correspondence therapy cost £60 a session.
To help you get started and decide if we’re the right fit, I offer a discounted first session – or first letter – for £35.
