If you think the way I work might be helpful, I'd be happy to hear from you.
You don't need to have everything figured out.
Start with where you are.
Tell me what's happening, what you'd like to be different, and we can work out whether The Life Of Your Choosing is the right place to start.

What happens next?
I'll review your message and, where appropriate, get back to you with information about the next steps.
This may involve arranging an initial conversation so that we can discuss what you are looking for and whether working together would be appropriate.
There is no obligation to continue.
The purpose of that initial contact is to establish whether there is a good fit between what you need and what I offer.
A note about urgent support
The Life Of Your Choosing is not an emergency or crisis service.
If you are in immediate danger, experiencing a mental health emergency, or need urgent medical attention, please contact the appropriate emergency or crisis service rather than waiting for a response from me.
If you are in the UK and need urgent mental health support, you can contact NHS 111 and select the mental health option (usually option 2) where available.
If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call 999 or, if possible, go to your nearest A&E department.
If you are experiencing suicidal thoughts, Samaritans can be contacted free of charge on 116 123, at any time.
An important note about prescribing
I am an Independent Prescriber as part of my wider professional role.
I do not prescribe or deprescribe medication through The Life Of Your Choosing.
If medication is relevant to your care, this should be discussed with your GP, Psychiatrist or another appropriate prescribing clinician.
My prescribing qualification informs my broader clinical understanding but is not a service offered through this practice.
You don't need to know exactly what you need before getting in touch.
You may have a clear idea of what you want help with.
You may have spent years trying to understand what's happening and still not have a straightforward explanation.
Or you may simply know that something isn't working and want to explore whether I can help.
That's enough to start a conversation.
Tell me a little about what is happening and what you are looking for.
We can then consider whether the way I work is appropriate for you and whether therapy, coaching or another form of support makes most sense.
What to include in your message
You don't need to write a detailed account of your life.
A few sentences are enough.
You might include:
- What you'd like help with
- How long you've been experiencing the difficulty
- Whether you are looking for therapy or coaching, if you know
- Anything you think would be useful for me to know
- Whether you have worked with a therapist or other professional before
Please don't include highly sensitive or urgent information in an initial email.
