I respond

I'll get back to you within 2 working days to arrange a free initial consultation.

Initial consultation

We have an informal conversation about what you're looking for and whether I might be able to help.

First session

If we both feel it's a good fit, we'll arrange your first session at a time that works for you.

Initial consultation

I offer a free initial consultation to explore your needs, answer questions, and discuss whether we feel like a good fit to work together. This conversation typically lasts 15-20 minutes and can take place by phone, video call, or in person.

During this consultation, we can discuss:

  • What brings you to therapy or supervision
  • How I work and what you can expect from sessions
  • Practical details such as session frequency, location, and fees
  • Any questions or concerns you may have

There is no obligation to proceed with therapy following the consultation. It's simply an opportunity for us both to get a sense of whether working together feels right.

Location and session format

I offer flexible session options to suit your needs, with appointments available across Fife, Dundee, Tayside, and online throughout Scotland.

Face to face in Kirkcaldy

I offer in-person sessions in Kirkcaldy town centre, Fife. This is my primary location for face-to-face therapy and supervision.

Face to face in Dundee

I also offer face-to-face sessions in Dundee, booking a suitable room as and when needed. If you are based in Dundee or the wider Tayside area, this may be a convenient option for you.

Virtual sessions

Online sessions are available via secure video conferencing, making therapy accessible wherever you are based in Scotland and beyond. During your initial consultation, we can discuss which format would work best for you.

Fees

My fee for both therapy and supervision sessions is £60 per hour.

I understand that cost can be a barrier to accessing support, and I do offer the option of a reduced rate where appropriate. If this is something you would like to discuss, please feel free to raise it during your initial consultation—there is no obligation and no judgement.

Fees apply equally whether you attend face to face in Kirkcaldy or Dundee, or online.

Common questions

Not at all. Many people get in touch feeling uncertain about where to start, and that's completely normal. The initial consultation is a chance to explore this together.

This varies for everyone. Some people find short-term therapy (6-12 sessions) helpful for specific issues, while others benefit from longer-term work. We can discuss what might work best for you during our initial conversation.

Yes, I work with children and young people. I typically work with children aged 5-17, though this can vary depending on individual circumstances.

It's natural to feel nervous about starting therapy. In our first session, we'll take time to get to know each other, discuss what brings you to therapy, and talk about how we might work together. You're in control of what you share and how fast we go.

Absolutely not. Art psychotherapy is about the process of creating and exploring, not about making "good" art. No artistic skill or experience is required.

Professional standards

All sessions are conducted in accordance with:

  • Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) standards and code of conduct
  • British Association of Art Therapists (BAAT) code of ethics (for art psychotherapy)
  • Professional indemnity insurance
  • Regular clinical supervision to support best practice
  • Confidentiality guidelines with clearly explained limits

Your privacy and wellbeing are my priority.

Taking the first step

Taking the first step towards therapy can feel daunting, and I understand that. If you have any questions or just want to find out more before committing to anything, please don't hesitate to get in touch. I'm here to help, and there's no pressure to proceed if it doesn't feel right for you.
