About me
There's a lot of information to digest (no pun). If it simplifies things, arrange a no obligation, no fee discovery call and decide first and foremost if we fit!
As with most things in life, therapeutic input is a relationship of sorts. If its doesn't vibe, it rarely works.

Please Note - I am not yet CORU registered due to the administration process and the length of time between applying and registration.
Therefore whilst I am happy to accept SELF FUNDING clients, I am unable to claim back from medical insurance companies and you will be unable to claim back my fees from your insurer.
