I am currently accepting new clients.
Would you like a free intro chat on the phone?
The intro chat lasts about 20 minutes, provides opportunities for you to ask questions, and is a great way to see if we are a good fit.
Before contacting me, please phone your insurance provider:
Please call them to check if you are specifically covered for Registered Psychotherapists (RP) or Registered Clinical Counsellors (RCC) since some insurance plans only cover Registered Psychologists and/or Social Workers.
About emailing:
If you would like to set up an intro chat, please contact me by email, however please note that sending information by email can not be guaranteed secure and emails are sent with this awareness, as such. It is prudent to keep the content of emails to a minimum and to use the service simply as a way schedule the timing of the intro call.
The basic information required within your email would be:
Your phone number
A few windows of times when it would be possible to phone you
Many thanks.

Are you looking for an assessment for ADHD or autism?
You do not require a formal assessment in order to have sessions with me. However, if you are seeking a formal assessment, please note that Registered Psychotherapists and Registered Clinical Counsellors are not qualified to make a formal diagnosis or assessment for any conditions. Please talk to your GP doctor about getting a diagnosis or assessment – some GPs can provide a diagnosis, or they may refer you to a Registered Psychologist or Registered Psychiatrist.
