Understanding the Process: Psychological Assessment and Treatment

Starting Therapy: What to Expect

I understand that taking the first step towards therapy can feel challenging. Rest assured, my approach is centered on providing personalised, compassionate care, ensuring you feel heard, supported, and safe throughout your journey.

When you reach out, please share a brief overview of the challenges you're facing. From there, we’ll discuss the best way to move forward. For example, we may arrange a 15-minute phone consultation to better understand your concerns and determine if I am the right Clinical Psychologist to support you.

If we agree to work together, I will send you more details about my services. We will then schedule an appointment for a psychological assessment, which will involve completing a registration form with your personal details.

The Assessment Process

The assessment typically takes a few sessions to complete, depending on the nature of your difficulties. During this time, we will discuss your background, including your personal life, work, health, and coping strategies. Each session will last 50 minutes.

Therapy Planning and Fees

After the assessment, if therapy is recommended, we will develop a tailored treatment plan. This plan will include the frequency of sessions and an estimated number of sessions required for your goals.

• Remote/Video Sessions: £120 per 50-minute session

• Face-to-Face Sessions: £130 per 50-minute session

I am here to support you, and together we will work towards finding the most effective path forward. If you feel ready to take the next step, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
