Breakthrough Sessions

How do I book a Breakthrough Session?

Click the Breakthrough Session button and you will be taken to my secure checkout, where you book and pay for your session. Straight after that, you will get a short form to reach out to me, and we settle on a time that works for both of us. The few questions on the form help us make the most of our time together.

What happens in a Breakthrough Session?

Breakthrough Sessions take place on Zoom and last 30 minutes. In that time we will:

  • Discover what is unconsciously sabotaging your healing.
  • Get absolutely clear on the steps you need to take to bring about the changes you want to see in your life.
  • Identify the one simple step you can take immediately to move forward.
What happens after the Breakthrough Session?

Even if we decide that working together is not the right fit, you will leave with a clearer perspective on your situation and a better sense of how to move forward than you had before.

Please note that I can only offer one Breakthrough Session per person.

How we work together

Do you work online only, or in person?

Currently I work exclusively online, via Zoom. Some clients are initially uncertain about not sharing a physical space. In practice, most find that working from the privacy and comfort of their own home more than compensates, and nobody has to factor in a commute.

Is everything we discuss confidential?

Everything discussed in our sessions is completely confidential. The only exception is if I have serious concerns about the safety of yourself or others, in which case I may be required to take appropriate action. This is standard practice across all coaching and therapeutic relationships.

What if I need to cancel or reschedule?

I ask for a minimum of 48 hours notice to cancel or reschedule a session. Sessions cancelled with less than 48 hours notice will be charged in full. This policy exists to protect both your commitment to the work and my time.

What if I am in crisis between sessions?

If you are struggling and need support before your next session, you can reach out. My one-to-one clients are free to contact me by email between sessions, and I will respond as soon as I can within my UK office hours.

Learning to ask for support, and to receive it where appropriate, is an important part of the healing journey. Experience has shown me that this does not foster neediness or codependency. Learning that you have the right to ask for help enables survivors to realise that they can handle the crises they face, and that breeds a new confidence.

How many sessions will I need?

There is no one-size-fits-all answer, because everyone is an individual. Chances are, you are where you are now partly because you were never taught to honour that individuality. Working a set programme that you have to fit your feelings around is not going to change that. The focus of my work is to teach you to be in charge of your emotions, so they do not derail you.

The choice of how long we work together is entirely yours. Some clients work with me for just a few months while they get back on their feet. Others choose longer, because having missed out on happiness, connection and fulfilment, they are committed to embracing the best possible second life.

Scope and suitability

Do you work with men?

Yes. I have always worked with a small number of male survivors of narcissistic abuse and have found it enormously rewarding. That said, my clientele has consistently been around 85 percent female, and it is the experience of women survivors that sits at the heart of everything I do and write.

Do you work with people outside the UK?

Yes. I have worked with clients throughout the world, particularly in North America. Working via Zoom means that distance is no barrier. In my experience, it involves no loss of intimacy whatsoever.

Do you offer group coaching or workshops?

Not at present. I am currently focused exclusively on one-to-one coaching. As soon as this changes, it will be announced here and on my mailing list.

Can I buy your books?

Yes. My books are all available on Amazon. You can see them all on the Books page.
