01
Initial chat
A brief first conversation to ask questions, check suitability and decide whether you would like to continue.
Contact & Booking
Start with a calm first conversation.
Reaching out does not mean committing to therapy straight away. You can begin with a free initial chat — a brief, no-pressure conversation to ask questions, share a little about what has been happening, and get a sense of whether InnerSentia Therapies may be a suitable place to begin.
You do not need to know exactly what to say. You can start with the feeling that something has been difficult, heavy, confusing or hard to manage alone.
If it feels appropriate, the next step may be an initial consultation, where there is more time to understand what you are looking for and whether ongoing support is the right fit.
There is more than one gentle first step.
Different people need different amounts of information before they feel ready to book. You are welcome to begin in the way that feels most manageable.
Recommended first step
Book a free initial chat
A short, no-pressure conversation to ask initial questions, share a little about what has been happening, and decide whether an initial consultation feels like the right next step.
Book a Free Initial Chat → Ask firstEmail a question first
If you are unsure about suitability, online sessions, future in-person appointments, fees, availability or how the process works, you can write before booking.
Email a Question First → Paid consultationBook initial assessment & therapy session
If you already know you would like the first appointment, you can book the initial assessment directly. It is 60-90 minutes and costs £75.
Book an Initial Assessment →If it feels right, the next step is an initial consultation.
The free initial chat is a simple first contact. It is not a therapy session and does not require you to explain everything in detail.
If the support seems suitable and you would like to continue, you can book an initial consultation. This is a fuller paid appointment where there is more time to talk through what has been happening, what you would like support with, and how the work may be shaped around you.
After that, you can decide whether to book further sessions. There is no pressure to continue.
02
Initial consultation
A 30-minute paid appointment to talk in more depth about what has been happening and what kind of support may be appropriate.
03
Ongoing sessions
If it feels right, you can book further sessions focused on the patterns, goals or changes that matter to you.
Each step is there to help you make an informed choice. You do not need to commit to ongoing support before you feel ready.
You are welcome to write before booking.
If you are unsure whether to book, or you have a practical question first, you can email me directly.
You might want to ask about suitability, online sessions, future in-person appointments, fees, availability or how the process works.
I currently use direct email and a secure booking portal rather than a website contact form. This keeps the process simple and avoids asking you to share personal information through a generic form.
InnerSentia may be suitable if you want to understand what has been happening beneath the surface.
People reach out for support with experiences such as overwhelm, anxiety, stress, panic, self-doubt, perfectionism, overthinking, people-pleasing, masking, emotional pressure, feeling stuck or wanting meaningful change.
This work may be a good fit if you are looking for calm, thoughtful support that explores patterns, emotional responses, body signals, beliefs, inner conflict or protective strategies.
Please choose the right support for your situation.
I offer calm, structured therapeutic support, but this is not suitable for crisis situations, urgent clinical needs or situations where immediate safety is a concern.
This is not an emergency, assessment or medical treatment service.
I provide psychologically informed hypnotherapy and NLP support. I do not provide formal mental health assessment, diagnosis, medical advice, psychiatric care, crisis intervention or emergency support.
This service does not replace your GP, NHS mental health services, psychiatrist, psychologist, crisis team or another appropriate healthcare professional.
If you need assessment, diagnosis, medication advice, urgent treatment or support for severe or rapidly worsening symptoms, please contact the appropriate NHS, GP or emergency service.
Email and booking enquiries are not monitored as urgent support channels and should not be used in an emergency.
Crisis and urgent support
If you are in immediate danger, feel unable to keep yourself safe, or are worried that someone may be at risk of harm, please use urgent services rather than waiting for a therapy appointment.
Immediate danger: 999 or A&E
Call 999 or go to your nearest A&E if there is immediate risk to life or safety.
Urgent mental health help: NHS 111
Call 111 or use NHS 111 online if you need urgent mental health support and are not in immediate danger.
Someone to talk to now: Samaritans 116 123
Samaritans are available day and night, free from any phone.
