How It Works & Fees

How it Works
Sessions last for 50 minutes and usually take place once a week, at the same time each week.

This regular rhythm creates a sense of safety, consistency and focus — especially helpful when life feels uncertain or overwhelming.

Fees
Therapy is a commitment in many ways, including financially. I aim to be as transparent as possible about fees, payment, and cancellations.

My standard fee is on a sliding scale between £75 and £105 per session. If we decide to work together, we’ll agree on an amount that feels fair and manageable
for both of us within that range.

I don’t charge for the initial session, unless we decide to continue. In that case, the first session would be charged for at the fee we’ve agreed upon.

I hold a small number of concessionary spaces for people who are on benefits, limited pensions, or low incomes and  who have no other means of support.
These places are limited and offered as and when they become available. If you’d need one, please let me know at first contact so I can let you know whether there’s space.

Fees are payable by bank transfer, ideally on the day of your session or as close as possible.

Missed or Rearranged Sessions
If you’re unable to attend your session for any unavoidable reason, I’ll do my best to offer an alternative time — though this depends on our mutual availability.
If it’s not possible to rearrange, or to meet by phone or online instead, the missed session would still be charged at your usual rate. This reflects the commitment I make to holding your session time open for you — consistently and reliably — each week, for the duration of our work together.

If You’re Looking for Lower-Cost Options
If my fees are out of reach, you may wish to explore one of the many low-cost therapy services offered by training organisations. These are usually staffed
by therapists-in-training who work under close supervision. I’ve listed some links to these services below.

If you would like to find out about my availability or have any other questions about working with me please don’t hesitate to contact me
