Frequently Asked Questions
What type of clients do you work with?
I work with adults aged 18 and over. My practice is LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent affirmative, creating a welcoming and inclusive space for all. At present, I do not work with children, couples or families.
What can I expect from the free 15 minute call?
Our first chat, by phone or video, is a no‑pressure way to see if we’re the right fit. You’ll get a sense of how I work and I’ll learn a little about what brings you to therapy and what you hope for. There’s no commitment, just space to see if it feels right for you.
How long does therapy usually last?
The length of therapy varies depending on your individual needs and goals. Some people find that a few sessions are enough to work through specific issues, while others may prefer longer-term support for deeper, ongoing work. Typically, we’ll begin by meeting weekly and as you progress, we can adjust the frequency or duration of sessions to suit your needs. The decision to continue therapy is entirely up to you and we’ll review your progress together regularly to ensure you’re getting the support you need.
What is the cancellation policy?
You can cancel your session free of charge up to 48 hours in advance. After this time, the full session fee will apply, as the time and therapy space are reserved especially for you. I understand that life can be unpredictable, so in certain circumstances we can discuss alternative arrangements.
Is everything kept confidential?
Your privacy is my priority and everything you share is kept completely confidential. The only exceptions to this are if I believe you are at immediate risk of harm to yourself or others, in which case I may need to involve the relevant authorities. Additionally, confidentiality may be limited by legal requirements in England, including matters related to drug trafficking, terrorism, and money laundering.
What is the therapy space like?
Inner Space is based at the Cherry Tree Therapy Centre in Henley. All the rooms at Cherry Tree are warm, calm and thoughtfully furnished to help you feel at ease. I’ll do my best to use the same room each time, so there’s a sense of consistency and familiarity.
Can I see photos of what the therapy space looks like?
Of course. Photos of the rooms are on the Cherry Tree website.
How do we set up online sessions?
If our sessions are online, I will send a video link in advance of our first session.
