Considering therapy?

I work online with adults, couples, and polycules across the UK and internationally, and in person in Huddersfield.

We can begin with a free 20-minute consultation. You can ask about how I work and say as much or as little as you wish about what brings you here. The consultation gives us both an opportunity to consider whether working together feels right.

You’re very welcome to get in touch.
