Before you choose a time

A few straightforward answers.

Is the initial consultation genuinely free?

Yes. The focused 30-minute initial assessment is free and there is no obligation to buy further work.

What happens after the conversation?

We send a written email summary recommending the most appropriate next steps. You decide whether to continue.

Who will I speak with?

We match the conversation to a specialist with relevant experience of the issue you describe.
