Therapy is a conversation
Just perhaps not one you’ve had before.
People come for all sorts of reasons: anxiety, relationships, stress, loss, identity, work, family, burnout, feeling stuck, or that vague sense that something isn’t quite right.
You don’t need a clear explanation or a neatly organised list of issues. Most people don’t. Many begin with “I’m not entirely sure why I’m here, but…” That’s more than enough.
Therapy offers a space to slow down and make sense of what’s going on. Together, we’ll explore your thoughts, feelings, patterns, relationships, and the stories you tell yourself about who you are. Some still fit. Others may no longer serve you.
I’m trained as a Psychosynthesis therapist, a humanistic approach that sees the whole person rather than reducing them to a diagnosis or symptom. At its heart is the idea that we all have different parts of ourselves, and that therapy can help us understand and integrate them more fully. I draw on a range of ideas and approaches, depending on what feels most helpful for you. You’ll find space to talk, alongside questions, reflections, and the occasional gentle challenge.
Perhaps most importantly, therapy is a relationship. Research consistently shows that the quality of the therapeutic relationship is one of the strongest predictors of positive change. You don’t need to be eloquent or endlessly self-aware. Just curious enough to show up and see what we discover together. Shall we talk?
The “is this normal?” FAQ
Starting therapy
Do I need to be in crisis to start therapy?
Not at all. Many people come to therapy because they want to understand themselves better, improve relationships, or explore recurring patterns before they become a crisis.
How will I know if you’re the right therapist for me?
The honest answer is: you probably won’t know from a website alone.
What tends to matter most is how it feels to talk. The relationship between therapist and client is one of the strongest predictors of successful therapy, which is why the “fit” matters.
That’s why I offer a free 20-minute chat. A chance to see how we might work together, and whether it feels easy enough to be yourself.
Are you open to LGBTQ+ and trans clients?
Yes. Whether you’re questioning, out and proud, somewhere in between, or thoroughly fed up with labels altogether, you’re welcome here.
How many sessions will I need?
Be wary of anyone who promises results after a fixed number of sessions. The honest answer is: it depends.
Some people come for a few months around a specific issue, while others choose longer-term work. We’ll review things regularly rather than committing you to therapy until retirement.
What are the sessions like?
How long are the sessions?
How often do we meet?
Sessions are 50 minutes long.
Most clients attend weekly, especially at the beginning. Regular sessions help build momentum and create a consistent space for reflection. We can discuss what feels right for you.
What if I don’t know what to talk about?
That’s surprisingly common. Some sessions begin with a clear topic; others with “I’ve got no idea where to start.” Both are fine starting points. Some of the most useful conversations begin exactly there.
What if I cry?
Then you cry.
People cry in therapy. People laugh in therapy. I’ve certainly done both within the same five minutes. Whatever shows up, we’ll work with it.
What if I don’t cry?
That’s fine too. Therapy isn’t measured in tissues used per session. Some people process emotionally through words, humour, thinking, or simply making sense of things.
Can I swear?
Absolutely. Therapy is one of the few places where you can talk honestly without worrying about sounding polite. Some situations simply aren’t adequately described by the word “gosh”.
And yes, I may occasionally swear too.
What if I’m nervous?
Most people are. Meeting a stranger and talking about personal things is objectively a bit odd when you think about it. Feeling nervous doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong.
Can I talk openly about sex, sexuality, or my kinks?
Yes, yes and yes. For some people that’s an important part of finding the right therapist. For others it’s simply useful to know they won’t need to explain or defend parts of their identity.
I’m kink-affirming and work with all consensual ways of relating, loving, and expressing sexuality, without judgment.
Will you tell me what to do?
No, not really – unless I’m concerned about your safety or the safety of others. My role is not to make decisions for you, but to help you understand yourself more clearly, so you can make choices that feel right for you.
Is what we discuss confidential?
Confidentiality is fundamental. There are a small number of legal and ethical exceptions, mainly around serious risk and safeguarding. These are outlined in our Working Together Agreement, and I’ll go through them with you before we begin.
Practicalities
How much does therapy cost?
Do you offer low-cost options?
Early afternoon sessions are £80.
Evening and Saturday sessions are £90 (limited availability).
I offer a small number of low-cost spaces for people on lower incomes, to support access where it’s most needed. These are currently full, but you are welcome to join the waiting list.
Do we meet in-person or online?
I only offer online sessions. Over time, I’ve found that good therapy doesn’t depend on being in the same room. Presence, attention, and a solid internet connection are important.
I have extensive experience working online, and for many people it actually makes therapy feel more accessible and less daunting.
You can join from a familiar space, avoid travel stress, and settle in however feels comfortable. Tea, blanket, slightly chaotic life in the background… all welcome.
I live outside the UK – can we still work together?
I’m based in London and work with clients in different countries.
If you get in touch and let me know where you’re based, I can give you a clearer answer for your specific situation before we begin.
What languages do you offer therapy in?
English and Greek.
You’re welcome to be wonderfully human in either.
Give it a go
I offer a free 20-minute chat before you decide anything.
You can ask questions, tell me as much or as little as you’d like, and get a sense of what working together might be like.
No pressure and no commitment. If it feels right, we’ll take it from there together.
