How to start
One small step at a time.
A first appointment can feel easier when you know what will happen. You do not need to have the words ready.
Get in touch
Send a message, call, or text. You can write as much or as little as you want.
You do not need to explain everything at the first contact.
We talk
We can begin with a free 15-minute phone call.
No pressure and no commitment — just a chance to see how it feels to talk to me.
We meet
Your first session is a gentle starting point.
You choose what to share. Some people talk a lot, some say very little, and all of that is fine.
We go at your pace
Together we agree what happens next.
There is no obligation to continue if it does not feel right.
If you are nervous
Most people are. You can send a very short message. You can ask a partner, friend or colleague to sit with you while you call. You can text instead of speaking. Any of those counts as starting.
I reply within one working day. I am not a crisis service — if you need help tonight, use the numbers on the crisis page, or call 999 if you are in danger.
