Therapy for people who've tried everything else
You already know yourself better than any therapist does. Let's work with that.
Ongoing Therapy
When the issue isn't a single situation
- it's a long-standing pattern
Weekly therapy for regulation, relationship, and reconnection
- learn new ways of relating to yourself and others.
What is Ongoing Therapy?
Some difficulties are not just life problems to solve.
They are patterns of being that have developed over time.
These often show up in three key areas:
-
how you relate to yourself and other people (relationship)
-
how your nervous system responds (regulation)
-
how connected you feel to your own thoughts, emotions, and body
(dissociation)
Work in these areas tends to shift best through consistent, relational, weekly therapy, where change can unfold gradually, safely, and in real time.
This isn’t about dependency.
It’s about rhythm, attunement, and integration.
Because patterns that were shaped in relationship are often reshaped in relationship, and the capacity to regulate and feel at home in yourself is something that is learned, practiced, and strengthened over time - often beginning with co-regulation with another person.
Even when difficulties feel long-standing, I usually recommend beginning with One-At-A-Time-Therapy (OAATT) first.
A focused session can often bring clarity quickly - and it's less costly, less intensive, and less disruptive to your life.
If it becomes clear that deeper, ongoing work would be helpful, we can then explore Ongoing Therapy together.
Start with the 'least intrusive first'
Which of these feel familiar?
Are you struggling in ways you can’t quite put into words - how you feel about yourself, how you move through life, or how you relate to others?
Maybe it’s recent, maybe it’s been this way for as long as you can remember.
The effects of early relational trauma often surface later in life, shaping our patterns, choices, and sense of self. You might feel stuck in cycles you don’t fully understand, carrying wounds that aren’t always visible.
If any of this resonates, you’re not alone. Here are some of the most common themes that may help you recognize your own experience:
You feel lost, or feel nothing at all...
Do you feel disconnected from yourself, like you're watching your own life from the outside? Maybe emotions and sensations feel distant, unclear or completely absent.
You know you're supposed to 'feel,' but nothing quite reaches you. Life moves on, but you feel like you’re just watching from the side lines - disconnected, numb, and unsure how to re-engage.
Reconnect with yourself and feel fully alive:
Through gentle somatic work, we’ll rebuild your awareness of sensation - helping you reconnect with your body’s subtle cues. As sensations become clearer, emotions follow, guiding you toward what truly moves and matters to you. Over time, we’ll layer in meaning - exploring what brings you purpose, engagement, and fulfilment, so that life feels like something you’re truly part of, rather than something that’s passing you by.
Struggling with boundaries - saying no feels impossible
Maybe you've always found it hard to say no, fearing conflict or disappointing others. So you take on too much - until you're overwhelmed, exhausted, or resentful. You know boundaries would help, but setting them feels risky, or even impossible
Set boundaries confidently - without the guilt
We’ll uncover what makes boundaries feel so difficult and work through the fears that hold you back. You’ll learn to practice saying no without guilt, until you can stand up for yourself without feeling like you’re being ‘too much,’ and build boundaries that protect your energy, peace, and relationships.
You don't feel good enough. Ever.
No matter how much encouragement you get, it never quite sinks in. You feel different from others - like something in you is fundamentally lacking, as if you’ll never be ‘enough.’ You keep pushing forward, hoping something will change, but deep down, that feeling of unworthiness never truly fades
Know your worth - without doubt or apology
We’ll explore where this deep sense of ‘not enough’ began and, more importantly, how to unhook from it. As shame loosens its grip, your self-worth strengthens along with your ability to engage fully - with your passions, relationships, and the things that bring you meaning. Accomplishments feel different when they’re not driven by fear of failure, but by genuine purpose. Together, we’ll help you move from constantly questioning your value to living with a quiet, unshakable confidence.
Losing yourself in relationships OR avoiding them completely
You may only feel like you 'exist' when you're in a relationship - your identity shaping itself around what the other person needs. But when the relationship ends, you're left feeling lost. Or maybe the opposite is true - your sense of self only feels stable when you're alone, and relationships feel suffocating. Neither extreme allows for a flexible, grounded sense of self that lets you thrive in both independence and connection.
Find balance - stay connected without losing yourself
We'll work to help you develop a stable sense of self - one that exists both in and out of relationships. Through gentle exploration, we’ll identify past relational patterns and build your capacity for connection without having to lose yourself, and independence without isolation - so that relationships feel nourishing, rather than overwhelming or all-consuming.
You feel overwhelmed, anxious, or like you can never fully relax
Some days, emotions hit like a tidal wave - too much, too fast, too intense. Other times, your nervous system is stuck in overdrive, scanning for danger, never fully relaxing. Your mind won’t switch off, trapping you in cycles of stress, exhaustion, and hypervigilance
Find calm and safety within yourself...
Together, we’ll work with your nervous system rather than against it. Through somatic techniques, emotional regulation strategies, and an understanding of your body's survival responses, you’ll learn how to shift from hyper-vigilance to a place of grounded calm. This isn’t about forcing yourself to relax - it’s about giving your body the right conditions to finally feel safe enough to do so.
Repeating patterns you can't break...
No matter how hard you try, you keep finding yourself in the same cycles - relationships that make you feel small, jobs that drain you, or self-sabotage when things start going well. You try to change, but something always pulls you back into old cycles and you can’t work out why, let alone break the cycle.
Break free from old cycles and creating momentum
Together, we’ll uncover the hidden forces keeping you stuck- whether it’s past conditioning, survival strategies, or deep-seated fears. Through this understanding, we’ll develop new ways of engaging with life, shifting from autopilot to conscious choice. You’ll learn how to break free from the patterns that no longer serve you, creating momentum toward the relationships, work, and life you truly want.

Practical Details
Starting Point:
In line with a stepped-care approach, I usually recommend beginning 1-2-1 clinical work with a One-At-A-Time-Therapy (OAATT) session before applying for Ongoing Therapy.
This allows you to:
-
see whether a lighter, one-at-a-time approach is enough
-
decide whether deeper, weekly work is actually needed
For many people, one or a small number of OAATT sessions is enough.
Ongoing Therapy is reserved for situations where longer-term, weekly work is genuinely needed.
Applying for Ongoing Therapy:
Because I work with only a small number of ongoing clients at any one time, all places are offered via application rather than open booking, and only at limited points throughout the year.
In most cases, applications are strongest when you have:
-
had at least one OAATT session with me.
-
or, have previously worked with me
-
or, have recent experience of therapy or have already begun working on yourself independently, and feel ready for weekly work.
Deep Dive Consultation:
If your application is a good fit, you will be offered a Deep Dive Consultation session appointment (up to 90 mins).
This is an extended, in-depth session to help us understand your current situation and what kind of support would genuinely move things forward. We will:
-
explore your current situation and what’s been going on over time
-
understand your patterns in relationship, regulation, and sense of self
-
look at your existing strengths, skills, and ways of coping
-
consider what you want from therapy and whether ongoing work is the right fit
The Deep Dive Consultation is a paid assessment session (£200) and is used only where Ongoing Therapy is likely to be a good fit.
The session is a booked, one-off appointment and is not rescheduled.
If you need to cancel, at least 72 hours’ notice is required. Where less notice is given, the full session fee will usually be charged. Cancellations made with more than 72 hours’ notice incur a 50% fee, reflecting the time that has been reserved.
If Ongoing Therapy is the right fit:
Ongoing Therapy is offered within a clear, consistent structure:

-

Your weekly session time is reserved exclusively for you.
Additional or extended sessions may be available occasionally and are charged separately, subject to availability.

-
Based on a therapeutic year of 45 sessions.
-
The retainer secures your weekly session time and is payable in advance at the start of each month.

There is a 4-week notice period to end therapy.
-
Additional sessions or extended sessions can be arranged where appropriate and are charged separately.
Availability:
I work with a small number of ongoing therapy clients at any one time and do not operate a waiting list.
In my experience, when someone is seeking private therapy, they need support now - not at an unknown point in the future.
For that reason, I encourage you to find the right support for you at the time you need it.
When places become available, I share this first with my Substack subscribers.
If this level of work feels right for you, you're welcome to apply
1
START WITH A ONE -AT-A-TIME (OAATT) SESSION
I usually suggest starting with a focused OAATT session - for many people, that’s enough to get things moving again. If it isn’t, we can then look at ongoing work.
2
APPLY FOR ONGOING THERAPY
If you feel ready for deeper, ongoing work - either straight away or after trying an OAATT session - complete a short application so we can explore whether this is the right fit.
3
DEEP DIVE CONSULT & BEGIN WORK
We meet for up to 90-mins in the Deep Dive Consultation and, if we agree it’s a good fit, begin structured weekly therapy together.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a waitlist for appointments? No. I work with a small number of clients at any one time and don't operate a waiting list. When someone is seeking private therapy, it's usually because they need support now. Rather than asking you to wait for an uncertain period, I encourage you you to find the right support for you elsewhere, at the time you need it.
How long does an ongoing therapy session last? The Deep Dive Consult Session lasts up to 90 minutes. All Ongoing Therapy sessions last for up to 50 minutes as standard, with an option to book longer sessions - please ask me for details.
How often do I need to have a session? Ongoing Therapy is a regular weekly service. If you prefer a fortnightly, ad-hoc, or one-off session approach, you may want to explore the One-At-A-Time service.
Can I change my usual session time if I can't make it one week? Ongoing Therapy is based on a consistent weekly day and time, which helps create stability in the work. As I keep a limited number of ongoing slots, I'm not usually able to offer alternative times. If you can't attend, the session will be missed.
What happens if I log on late to a therapy session? The session lasts 50 minutes from the agreed start time. If you arrive late, the session will still end at the pre-arranged time. For example, if the agreed start time is 6pm and you arrive at 6:15pm, the session would still finish at 6:50pm.
Do you offer concessions/ lower fees? I don’t offer further concessions or lower fees. Ongoing Therapy sessions are already offered at a discounted rate compared to OAATT, which reflects my commitment to supporting clients who engage in regular, consistent work and ensures therapy is as affordable as possible for those who are committing to a longer-term therapeutic journey.
What if I encounter technical problems during an online session? While I'm sympathetic to technical issues, I generally won't reschedule due to them. Part of the session fee covers my time, which is allocated for you. However, I'll do my best to accommodate and make the session as productive as possible despite any technical challenges.
Why is there a cancellation fee for the Deep Dive Consult, even if I cancel in advance of the 72 hours? Deep Dive Consultation sessions are offered as one-off appointments. When you book, that time is set aside specifically for you. Because these sessions are offered in a limited and intentional way, it is often not possible to reallocate the time at short notice. For that reason, a 50% fee applies to cancellations made with more than 72 hours’ notice, and the full fee applies within 72 hours. This helps protect the time that has been reserved and allows the service to remain sustainable.
