Sessions, Fees & FAQs
Initial Consultation
I usually suggest starting with a free 15–20 minute introductory phone or video call. This is a chance for us to see whether working together feels right for you.
You can share what has brought you to therapy, what you are hoping for, and ask any questions you may have. There is no obligation to continue after this call.
I will also explain how I work and what you can expect from sessions, so you feel informed and at ease.
Fees
Each 50-minute session costs £65. Concessions may be available for those on low income and students - please feel free to ask.
Payment is made in advance by bank transfer.
Cancellation Policy
If you need to cancel or reschedule a session, I ask for at least 48 hours’ notice. This allows the space to be offered to someone else who may be waiting.
Cancellations with less than 48 hours’ notice may be charged at the full session fee.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often are the sessions?
Therapy sessions typically last 50 minutes and are usually held weekly at the same time and day, creating a consistent and safe space for you to explore and grow.
Is therapy confidential?
Yes. Everything we discuss stays between us, except in rare situations where I am legally required to share information to keep you or others safe. I’ll always explain this clearly before taking any action.
What if I don’t feel ready to talk about everything?
That’s completely okay. You don’t need to talk about anything you’re not ready for. We go at your pace.
What if I’m not sure therapy will help?
It’s normal to feel unsure at first. The initial consultation is a great chance to explore this and see if we’re a good fit. Many people find that even a few sessions bring clarity and relief.
Can I just try a few sessions?
Yes. You can decide what feels right for you, whether that’s a single session, short-term work, or taking a break and returning at a later date.
How can counselling help with grief or loss?
Bereavement counselling can help you process your grief and understand the emotional impact following the death of someone close to you. Many people feel they need to say they are “fine,” even when things feel very difficult underneath. I provide a space where you don’t have to put that away or go through it on your own.
