Free initial call
Book a free initial call with Paula Miles
If you are considering psychotherapy, a free initial call is an opportunity to briefly talk about what has brought you here, ask any questions you may have and see whether working together feels like the right next step.
Book a free initial call
I offer psychotherapy in person in Basingstoke, Hampshire, and online across the UK. The call lasts about 30 minutes, with no pressure and no commitment to continue.
Prefer to book straight away?
Choose a time for your free 30-minute initial consultation over the phone in my online diary, and I will call you then.

Your free consultation
In our free 30-minute phone call, I invite you to tell me what is happening in your life and what led you to reach out now. I listen to what feels difficult for you. You can share at your own pace, and if you have had therapy before, we may talk about how that felt and what was missing.

Getting a feel for how I work
I explain my approach, how I may be able to support you and what the first few sessions might look like. We also talk through fees and the practical details of meeting each week. There is space for your questions and for you to see whether you feel comfortable with me.

Booking your sessions
After we have talked, I will ask whether you would like to go ahead. There is no pressure to book, and it is all right if I am not the right fit for you. If you would like to continue, we agree your weekly session time, the fee and whether we will meet in Basingstoke or online, and confirm the next steps.
