What we help with
Our psychologists work with adults aged 18 and over. Therapy here is a conversation with a trained professional, at a pace that suits you.
Low mood
Feeling flat, losing interest or carrying a heaviness that has lasted weeks rather than days.
Stress and burnout
Pressure at work or at home that is affecting sleep, concentration or relationships.
Life changes
Bereavement, separation, a new role or a move, and the feelings that come with them.
Self criticism
A harsh inner voice, perfectionism or low confidence that keeps getting in the way.
Relationships
Patterns with partners, family or colleagues that keep repeating and leave you drained.
We do not offer crisis support, assessments for legal cases or therapy for children, and our psychologists do not prescribe medication. If we are not the right fit, we suggest where else to turn.
How a first appointment works
Nothing is expected of you before you arrive, and you can stop at any point.
Send a request
Choose in person or video and the times that usually suit you. Share as much or as little as you like.
A short call
Within one working day a psychologist calls for about ten minutes to check the practice is right for what you need.
First appointment
Fifty minutes to talk about what brings you, what you hope will change and how therapy could work.
Decide together
At the end you agree whether to continue, how often to meet and when to review how things are going.
How we work
Our psychologists use approaches with a solid research base, such as cognitive behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy and compassion focused therapy. The approach is chosen with you and can change as sessions go on.
You decide what to talk about and how fast to go. Nobody can promise a particular result from therapy, so every six sessions we look together at whether it is helping and what might work better.
- Adults aged 18 and over
- Weekly or fortnightly sessions
- In the room or by video call
- A shared review every six sessions
Fees and session lengths
One fee per session, with no packages to buy in advance.
| Appointment | Length | Fee |
|---|---|---|
| Introductory phone call | About 10 minutes | No charge |
| First appointment | 50 minutes | $140 |
| Individual therapy session | 50 minutes | $130 |
| Longer session, by agreement | 80 minutes | $195 |
Fees are paid directly to the practice after each session. Sessions cancelled with less than 48 hours' notice are charged in full. Whether insurance contributes depends on your country and your policy.
Confidentiality and its limits
We explain these limits at the first appointment, and you can ask about them at any time.
What stays private
What you say in sessions is confidential. Notes are brief, stored securely and seen only by your psychologist.
When we may need to share
If there is a serious risk of harm to you or someone else, or a child or vulnerable adult is at risk, we may need to contact others. Wherever possible we talk with you first.
When the law requires it
A court order or a legal duty can require us to share information. These rules vary by country, and we explain the ones that apply here.
Clinical supervision
Psychologists discuss their work with an experienced supervisor to keep standards high, without sharing your name.
In clients' words (example reviews)
Shared with permission by former clients, with names shortened.
The first call was short and kind, with no pressure to book. The room was quiet and nothing felt rushed.
Video sessions made it possible to keep going through a demanding year at work. Clear from the start about fees and about what would stay private.
Practical tools for worry, explained without jargon, and an honest check every few weeks on whether the sessions were helping.
Questions people often ask
Is this a crisis service?
No. The practice does not offer crisis support, and messages are not monitored out of hours. If you are in danger or thinking of harming yourself, call your local emergency number or a crisis line now.
What qualifications do your psychologists hold?
Each holds a postgraduate qualification in psychology and is registered with the regulator for psychologists where we practise. Professional titles and registration rules vary by country, so if you see someone elsewhere, check the register that applies there.
Is a referral from a doctor needed?
No referral is needed to book. Some insurers ask for one before they contribute to fees, so check your policy first. With your consent, we can keep your doctor informed.
How is a psychologist different from a psychiatrist?
A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who can prescribe medication. Our psychologists offer talking therapy and do not prescribe, so if medication might help, we suggest speaking to your doctor.
How many sessions will be needed?
It varies from person to person. Some people come for a handful of sessions and others for longer. We review together every six sessions, and you can pause or stop at any time.
Can sessions be held by video?
Yes. Video sessions follow the same structure as sessions in the room. You need a private space where you will not be overheard and a steady internet connection.
