​To make the most of your psychotherapy, it is important that we develop a collaborative working relationship in which you feel safe and committed to. My role is to listen to you without judgement or prejudice and help you make sense of the reality you are living and of the feelings and thoughts that you may be experiencing. I will support you in setting out goals for you and provide you with guidance. It is OK if it feels difficult to think of a goal initially. Please know that this will be your time for yourself. All sessions are strictly confidential.
 

The sessions last 50 minutes and are held weekly. In your first therapy session we will have the opportunity to get to know each other and it is helpful for me to get a sense of your current life situation, history and what has brought you to art psychotherapy now. We will use this initial session to explore and discuss how we may work together, depending on your needs and on my approach. ​The number of sessions offered varies depending on clients and their individual needs. We may start we a block of 8 or 12 weekly sessions, after which we review the progress of the work and decide whether it is best to complete the sessions or to continue. For people who may benefit from long-term work, I offer sessions for up to one year or more.

​

Sometimes people may feel a little worse at the beginning of their therapy. This is a normal response to psychotherapy sessions, as one begins to pay attention to personal experiences that can bring out difficult feelings. It is important to talk about these feelings in our sessions if and when they arise in order to make sense of your experience and work towards improvement. In our sessions you will find a space of acceptance and support.

I offer sessions at a sliding rate from £60 to £80. I am committed to making therapy accessible, and lower-rate sessions may be available. I see clients in Lisbon and I offer online art psychotherapy as well.

If you are interested in working with me I offer a free 15 min telephone consultation so that we can see whether we would be a good fit. Feel free to email me to initiate an enquiry and I'll get back to you.

I look forward to connecting with you.
