FAQs

I specialise in working with adults navigating midlife transitions, particularly people in their 40s and 50s who are experiencing shifts in identity, relationships, career, or purpose. Many of my clients feel stuck, uncertain, or ready for meaningful change such as:

• Managing stress and anxiety
• Empty nest adjustments, or 'boomerang' adult children
• Relationship transitions (divorce, dating after divorce)
• Identity questions and purpose exploration
• Confidence and self-esteem challenges
• Work-life balance struggles
• Processing grief and loss
• Navigating physical changes
• Career dissatisfaction or changes

If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or that something needs to change in your life, therapy can help provide clarity and support. You don't need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy — many clients come simply because they want more fulfilment and purpose.

Midlife therapy acknowledges the unique developmental challenges and opportunities of this life stage. Rather than simply treating symptoms, we explore how this transitional period offers opportunities for deeper authenticity, meaning, and joy. We not only focus on what you're moving through, but what you're moving toward.

Finding the right therapeutic match is essential. That's why I offer a free 20-minute discovery session before committing to working together. This gives us both a chance to determine whether my approach and specialisation align with your needs.

All sessions take place via secure video platform offering you: 

• therapy from the comfort of your own space
• no commute time
• flexible scheduling options
• the same deep, transformative work as in-person therapy

Simply contact me to book your free discovery session. During this brief video session, we'll discuss what brings you to therapy, answer any questions you have, and determine next steps.

I will respond within 48 hours of your request, so if you have not heard from me within that time please check your junk/spam folders in case my reply has dropped into there.

Our first session focuses on getting to know each other. I'll ask about what brings you to therapy, relevant background information, and your hopes for our work together. You'll have plenty of opportunity to ask questions and get a feel for my approach.

I use a secure online platform. You'll receive a private link before each session - all you need is a device with good internet connection and a private space where you can speak freely.

Working online allows me to serve clients across the UK. 

Online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as in-person therapy for most people, while offering greater convenience and flexibility.

Absolutely. Confidentiality is a cornerstone of effective therapy. 

The only exceptions to confidentiality are situations involving risk of harm to yourself or others, information about vulnerable children or adults, drug trafficking, money laundering, terrorism or if I am requested by court order - these are the specific reasons I'm legally mandated to break confidentiality.

My standard online session fee is £50 for a 50-minute session.  I appreciate therapy can be expensive; my online rates are set to keep therapy accessible to as many midlifers as possible.  

I require 48 hours' notice for cancellations to avoid being charged for the session. I understand that emergencies happen, and we can discuss special circumstances as they arise.

This varies widely depending on your goals and circumstances. Some clients find that 8-12 sessions provide the clarity and tools they need, while others benefit from longer-term support. Together, we'll regularly assess your progress and discuss what timeline makes sense for your needs.  

If you wish to end therapy, it can be helpful to dedicate one final session together in order to bring our work to a close.
