Doug provided a safe and non-judgmental space for me to discover who I really am. Our work together has given me an understanding of myself that's changing the way I relate to others.

This has been an amazing journey and I'm feeling lighter and happier. You've helped me to appreciate myself.

Our work together has enabled me to deal positively with a very difficult situation at work. I arrived feeling confused, belittled and depressed and it was affecting life outside work too. You helped me to see what was happening and it's been so useful. Thank you!

When my husband died unexpectedly, I felt my world collapse and I was scared about facing the rest of my life without him. Talking to you has given me the strength to move on.

We meet for an introductory session, to discuss your needs. Sessions are 50 minutes long. A minimum of 6 sessions, and ideally 8, are recommended. However, the ultimate length of your therapy will be tailored to your individual needs. Some people benefit from shorter bursts of therapy to help them navigate a crossroads in their lives, they may return later when they need help to deal the next life challenge or hurdle.

Other people choose regular therapy sessions to support and sustain them over a longer period. Everyone is different. When we conclude your initial course of therapy treatments, together we review what has been achieved and decide if further sessions will be useful.

My fee is £60 per therapy session. This is reviewed annually.

Please aim to arrive on time. If you arrive early, I may be busy with somebody else and unable to let you in. If you arrive late, we will still have to finish the session on time.

If you know you are not going to be able to come to a session I require a minimum of 48 hours notice, otherwise my fee is still payable.
