Sessions generally run for one hour, unless we discuss otherwise. Fees can be discussed when you get in touch.

If cost feels like a barrier to starting, please do mention this when you contact me — it’s something we can discuss together.

Sessions take place in a garden room, a quiet, private space separate from the main house. Parking is available in front of the main house and I will let you know directions and details once you’ve booked an initial session.

There is a toilet in the main house you’re welcome to use if necessary.  

At the moment, the garden room is not wheelchair accessible. 

Yes. Everything discussed in our sessions is held in strict confidence. As part of my professional practice, I have regular clinical supervision which is standard good practice and an important part of how I support you and maintain the quality of the psychotherapeutic work we do together.  I work within the UKCP Code of Ethics.

In the rare event that a safeguarding concern arose, I would always aim to discuss this with you first before taking any further action.

As Biodynamic Psychotherapy is a Body Psychotherapy it’s important to access sessions in person as much as possible. That said, if logistics make this difficult, working online is possible, something I discovered during the Covid pandemic, when it became a valuable option. Online sessions usually take place by video call. 

There may be times, however, when I feel an in-person session would be more appropriate therapeutically, in order to support you more fully and safely.

This really depends on you, your individual needs, what issues we might be working through and your personal history.  I would suggest an initial 6 sessions to get the feel for whether it’s the right approach for you.  That said this is a space to explore whatever is present for you including, of course, what might not feel right for you and so I would always encourage curiosity about this.

In Biodynamic Body Psychotherapy we usually start with what’s uppermost in the present moment.  Each session unfolds from here in its own unique way.  This might be through talking or bodywork – often a combination of the both.  

That’s fine. Many people approach therapy with a vague sense that that something’s missing from life, perhaps a feeling of dissatisfaction, without a clear cause. For others it might be clearer, perhaps a bereavement or other significant life change. Others come because of a physical condition that’s affecting their quality of life, or because stress has become hard to manage and is tipping into anxiety and depression. Some people have already done a lot of talking therapy and feel ready to work at a different level, through the body. People come into therapy for all sorts of reasons – clear and vague.
