I offer daytime appointments In-person on Tuesday at 17 Gosfield Street, London, W1W 6HE https://maps.app.goo.gl/bvm7wuzKsXpsuXTG6?g_st=com.google.maps
Online – Monday to Friday – via googlemeet, facetime or whatsapp video.
Sessions typically last 50 minutes. The majority of people choose to come to sessions weekly, but we can decide how regularly to meet and for how many sessions during the assessment process.
How do Online Sessions work?
Online sessions are in many ways are very similar to face-to-face sessions. We use the same therapies, can work with the same issues and would have a prearranged 50 minute appointment time. However, online sessions allow you the flexibility for us to work together even if you cannot physically get to my clinic.
This can be new technology for many people but it can be very easy to set up as long as you have a good internet connection. Before our session you will receive an email with a link to the session. Simply clicking on this link will take you to our prearranged appointment time.
Online session fees are the same as my usual session fees.
