Fees & Frequently Asked Questions

For some the cost of therapy is a real concern. It can help to think of therapy as an investment in yourself and your future. The same as studying, buying a home or learning to drive. The crucial difference is the benefits of therapy are intangible - inner peace, improved self worth, better emotional regulation for example whereas money is tangible. It can take courage to invest in yourself in this way and step away from the tangible into the unknown. 

I offer a sliding scale of £55- £75 per 50-minute session.

Fees are payable by cash or bank transfer the day before each session.

The first step is a free 15–30 minute online session, where we can talk about what’s bringing you to therapy and how I work. It’s also an opportunity for us both to see if we feel like a good fit. 

The first session is a relaxed, conversational space where I’ll ask questions to get to know you better and help you ease into therapy. From the second session we begin to work more deeply on the issues and themes that have brought you to therapy.

I offer therapy face to face, over the phone and by video call. 

Sessions are weekly, at the same time and place.

I don’t work to a fixed format or set stages. Rather than moving through A, B, and C, we focus on what you want to bring and what feels most pressing for you. I often support you to notice patterns in your life now and explore how these may be connected to earlier experiences. We might use objects, drawing, writing, visualisation, images, or imagination if words alone don’t feel enough. Therapy with me can be serious, but it can also be light-hearted depending on what you need. I also pay attention to our relationship as a ‘test bed’ for how you are with others. If you’d like things to be different outside the therapy room — for example, you find it hard to identify and say what you need — we can begin practising that together, for real, in our work.

Choosing a therapist can feel like hard work! What matters most is finding someone who feels right for you, as the therapeutic relationship is central to meaningful work. I encourage you to take your time — read websites, explore directories, and speak with a few therapists. An initial consultation is a chance to sense whether the relationship feels supportive and workable for you and they are free. The choice is always yours, and you are free to end therapy at any point too. 

I have worked with a diverse range of adults (18+), including people who are straight, gay, bi, trans and queer; parents and people without children; those who are single or in relationships; disabled people, including those living with chronic health conditions and people from many cultural backgrounds.

Often people come to therapy experiencing anxiety or low mood which often connects to wider life experiences such as difficult childhoods, bereavement, domestic or sexual abuse, low self esteem, job loss, relationship breakdown, bullying, questions around gender or sexuality and experiences of religious harm.

Confidentiality is central to my work and you can read more about it in my privacy policy. I will not share information about you without your consent, except within professional supervision. My supervisor is also bound by the BACP Ethical Framework, and anything shared is fully anonymised, with identifying details removed.

There are rare situations where confidentiality may need to be broken, for example if required by law or if there is a serious concern about your safety or the safety of others. If this were to arise I would always aim to discuss this with you first.
