In their words
Most of my clients are students or people in their first job, often talking to me from a hostel room or a shared flat abroad.
People usually talk to me about
Exam pressure, comparison, panic before deadlines, and the strange loneliness of moving abroad.
What a session with me feels like
Practical. You'll usually leave with one thing to try before we next speak — only if you want it.
If you don't know what to say in the first session
Tell me about your day yesterday, hour by hour. We'll find it in there.
