How to get the most from this service
-
Think carefully about what you'd like to know and, what you need to share with me, to help me to answer your question.
-
Keep it brief. If you need to provide lots of detail, personal, medical information, or information that requires clarification for a deeper understanding, this may indicate that the 'ask a psychotherapist' service is not suitable to respond.
-
Ensure you include a clear question (and re-read it before sending to make sure it makes sense) rather than just sharing information.
-
Do not share person-identifiable, medical information relating to others.
-
Please note that if you live outside of England or Wales my experience and insights may be less applicable.
This service is not suitable for:
X Crisis support. I cannot offer crisis support and if you or another person is in crisis you an immediate response is needed. Please click here for crisis support service information.
X Seeking a mental health diagnosis. I am not a Psychiatrist so cannot provide a mental health diagnosis. An assessment would need to be undertaken to identify a specific mental health difficulty.
X Providing excessive amounts of personal information.
If you feel that this is required in order to help you please consider seeking a mental health assessment. If you'd like a therapy assessment with me, first book

How can I support my autistic teenager? Our family is really struggling to cope. My autistic teenager has been hitting me soon after being in situations where they've felt criticised by others. They come across as rude and blunt and do a lot of reassurance-seeking. What can I do to support them?
