What to do next
Choosing a therapist can be difficult - opening up can be daunting and it is important to feel safe and comfortable with your therapist. I recommend getting in touch with a few to see a best fit.
If you would like to get in touch for an online consultation to see if we would be a good fit to work together, please send me an email in the first instance (email: calminthestorm@gmail.com). Please include your name and the reason you are interested in therapy.
If I feel I can help with what you have indicated you would like support with, I will offer a free 20 minute online consultation, to help determine if we will be a good fit to work together and to revisit what you are hoping to get out of therapy - this will not be a therapy session, just an introduction to each other with no obligations. If you would like to get in touch to see if we can work together, please send me an email (as above) and I will get back to you as soon as I am able (please note some times are busier than others, so there may be a delay).
IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER:
Therapy is not an emergency service, so if you need help urgently, please do contact 111 (or 999 for life threatening emergencies) or you can call 116 123 to talk to Samaritans, who are available 24/7 (or email jo@samaritans.org for a reply within 24 hours). The mental health charity Mind has coping strategies for how to cope during a crisis, which may also be helpful (links are available on my resources page if you need them).
PRICING
The average cost of therapy in the UK is usually between £40 and £100 per session (sometimes more).
I cannot offer free therapy, however I know what it is like to need help and not to be able to afford it. Therefore, my aim is to make therapy accessible and so although I obviously also need to make a living, I operate on a pay what you can basis. This means we will discuss payment terms at our initial consultation.
Sessions are 50 minutes long.
A Consultation is 20 minutes and is free (this is not a therapy session)
Please note all Consultations are online.
Sessions are also online, and in-person therapy (at temporary offices in King's Lynn).
