Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Psychotherapy and Counselling

How online sessions work

You book an initial assessment, and before the appointment you receive a Zoom link by email. Nothing needs installing beyond a browser or the free Zoom app, and my administrator can help if you are unsure. The assessment lasts one hour. It is a structured conversation about the difficulties you are facing, what you want from therapy, and the plan best suited to you. If you decide to go ahead, sessions are usually weekly and last 50 minutes.

Why online works

Therapy by video has been studied extensively, and the evidence shows outcomes on a par with sessions in a room for anxiety, depression, trauma, stress and many other difficulties. Clients build a strong working relationship with their therapist just as quickly. Online sessions also remove the commute, fit around work and family, and let people with limited mobility or a busy diary keep therapy going without breaks that slow progress.

What you need

A private space where you will not be overheard, a stable internet connection, and a laptop, tablet or phone with a camera. I work with clients who are resident in the UK.

Notes and AI

I keep notes with the help of secure tools built for clinicians. Nothing is recorded without your consent, no AI tool assesses you or decides your treatment, and I review every note myself. Data is held in the UK under written agreements and is never used to train AI. The options, and your choices, are explained in the intake pack you receive before your first session.
