Yes. I conduct most of my sessions online, All we need clear vision, audio, and a reliable connection. We can chat either through Zoom, Facebook video, or Google Meet.
I'm based in the famous seaside resort city of Brighton, UK.
I work in person - mobile visitations to your home, or designated and approved therapy room, and remotely nationally and internationally via live video link.
Yes, there are.
For legal and professional ethical reasons, I do not offer services to anyone under the age of 18, anyone with a history of psychosis, anyone who experiences seizures, or anyone intoxicated by any recreational psychoactive drugs or medication that can alter anyone's conscious and subconscious state of mind.
Usually once a week for best efficacy, but this is flexible. This can all be discussed during your consultation and any other forthcoming communication.
Change is dependent on the intention of the client's needs and wishes. Some changes can materialise immediately or soon after, while others are gradual and work towards change. No therapist can predict or control what happens in your life after you have completed your session(s).
