Book Your Free Introduction Call

A free introduction call is a gentle first step - a chance for you to get a feel for how I work, ask any questions, and see whether therapy with me feels like the right fit. There's no pressure, no commitment, and no expectation to share anything before you're ready. I offer counselling in Grimsby and online across the UK, so you’re welcome to book from wherever feels most comfortable for you.

What This Call Is For

This short call is simply a space for us to meet and talk about what's brought you here. You're welcome to share as much or as little as feels comfortable. If you’re feeling unsure about what to say, that’s completely okay — many people begin with just a few words.

​

Together we'll explore:

  • what you're hoping for from therapy

  • what you're finding difficult right now

  • how I can support you

  • whether we feel like a good therapeutic match

​​

It's completely okay if you're unsure what you need - many people feel that way at the beginning.

What Happens Next

If the call feels right for both of us, we can talk about arranging your first full session. If you need time to think, that's absolutely fine too.

​

And if you're already certain you'd like to begin counselling, you can choose to book your first session directly without an Introduction Call.

Your Availability

I offer sessions on weekday evenings and weekends to support different routines and commitments.

During the call, we can look at what times might work best for you. These times apply to both in‑person sessions in Grimsby and online sessions across the UK.

How to Book

Use the booking form below to choose a time that suits you.

Once you've booked, you'll receive a confirmation email with all the details you need.

Prefer to talk on Teams instead of by phone?

Just let me know in the booking notes, and I'll call you at your chosen time. 

​

​Whether you’re looking for counselling in Grimsby or online therapy from elsewhere in the UK, you’re welcome to book your introductory call whenever you feel ready.
