WHAT THIS ISN'T
Clear about what this is for.
This is private one-to-one work on what's going on with you. It isn't licensed therapy, it isn't medical care, and it isn't an emergency service. Knowing that up front helps you decide if it's right for you.
IF IT CAN'T WAIT
Call your emergency number.
If you're in danger, or thinking about ending your life, please call now rather than writing to me.

Anywhere else, your country's local emergency number.
PLAINLY
Four things this isn't.
Not licensed therapy
I'm not a licensed therapist, psychologist or doctor.
No diagnosis
I don't diagnose, and you won't leave with a label.
No medication advice
Starting, changing or stopping medication is a conversation for your doctor.
Not instead of your care
If you already see a doctor or therapist, keep going. This can sit alongside it.
WHEN A DOCTOR COMES FIRST
Some things need medical care first.
For example, if you're hearing or seeing things others don't, if you need help stopping heavy drinking or drug use, or if eating has started to harm your body.
If what you bring is one of these, I'll say so plainly and point you to the right kind of help. That's part of being honest with you.
WHAT IT IS
An honest conversation, and something to take away.
Time with someone who has spent nine years studying how people work, looking at what's going on with you and telling you plainly what I see.
