Professional Consultations

Whether you’re looking for a fresh perspective on client work, support as you develop your private practice, or guidance in working with neurodivergent clients, professional consultation offers a dedicated space to think, reflect and grow.

Working in private practice can be incredibly rewarding, but it can also feel isolating. Sometimes it helps to have another experienced therapist alongside you to explore ideas, consider different approaches, and build confidence in your clinical decision-making.

I offer one-off 60-minute consultation sessions for therapists and trainee therapists who would value an experienced, collaborative sounding board.

Psychosexual Therapy

As a COSRT-accredited psychosexual therapist, I offer consultation on a wide range of sexual and relationship concerns. Whether you’re working with issues such as desire discrepancy, sexual pain, shame, or intimacy, consultation provides a space to think together about formulation, therapeutic direction and the challenges that can arise in this specialist area. My approach is pluralistic, compassionate and grounded in current clinical practice.

Couples Therapy

Working with couples brings its own complexity, and having another therapist to reflect with can be invaluable. Consultation offers an opportunity to explore relationship dynamics, assessment, communication patterns and the challenges of maintaining balance between partners while staying attuned to the therapeutic process. Together we can think through your work in a collaborative and supportive way.

Neurodivergent Practice

As an autistic and ADHD therapist, I have a particular interest in supporting therapists who work with neurodivergent clients, as well as neurodivergent therapists themselves. We can explore how autism and ADHD may influence communication, sensory experiences, relationships and sexuality, while considering practical adaptations that make therapy more affirming and accessible. I also welcome conversations about navigating private practice as a neurodivergent professional.

Building a Private Practice

Alongside my clinical work, I’ve built a successful niche private practice from the ground up. If you’re developing your own practice, we can think together about finding your niche, marketing ethically, creating a sustainable workload and building a business that reflects your values. Consultation can also provide space to discuss the realities of self-employment and the unique opportunities and challenges it brings.

What to Expect

Professional consultation is collaborative rather than supervisory. Together we’ll explore your questions, reflect on different perspectives and consider practical next steps that feel aligned with both your client and your therapeutic approach. Sessions can focus on a specific client, a professional dilemma, your private practice or your own development as a therapist.

Professional consultations are offered online as one-off 60-minute sessions via secure video call.
