What the consultation call covers:

During our Zoom call, we’ll talk about what’s been happening for you, what you’ve already tried, and what you’d like to be different.

​

I’ll also explain how the programme works and what’s involved, so you can get a clear sense of whether it feels right for you.

​

Because I work very closely with my clients, I only take on a small number of new people each month. This allows me to give each person the time, attention and support they need.

​

For that reason, the call is also about making sure we’re a good fit for each other. I’ll always be honest with you about whether I feel I can genuinely help, based on your situation and what you’re looking for.

​

My work tends to be most effective for people who are generally coping well in most areas of life, but feel held back by anxiety linked to their IBS, things like needing to know where the nearest toilet is, worrying about being out and about, or avoiding situations because of how their body might react.

​

Often there is a point where things became noticeably worse, perhaps after a bad flare-up, a stressful period, an embarrassing incident, a journey, food poisoning, or a time when confidence in their gut began to disappear.

​

Because this is a structured 5-session programme, it is usually a better fit for people whose main difficulty is IBS-related anxiety than for those dealing with longstanding anxiety affecting many areas of life.

​

I'll always be honest with you about whether I feel I can genuinely help, based on your symptoms, your anxiety patterns, and whether it appears that other medical or dietary factors may need addressing alongside the work that I do.

​

Most people find the call helpful either way.
