Fees & FAQs

How much are sessions?
Sessions are £75, reviewed every six months. Your first step is a free 15-minute introductory call to see if we’re a good fit.

How long is a session, and how often do we meet?
Sessions are 50 minutes, at the same day and time each week.

How do I pay, and when?
Payment is by online bank transfer. If you’re paying monthly, this falls due at the start of the month; if weekly or for a single session, on the day of the session itself. I’ll send full payment details once we begin working together. If bank transfer isn’t possible for you, just let me know and we can discuss alternatives.

What if I need to cancel or reschedule?
Please give at least 48 hours’ notice by text or email, and I’ll do my best to offer an alternative time within the same week. Sessions cancelled with less than 48 hours’ notice, or missed without notice, are charged in full, as your time is held especially for you. If cancellations become frequent, we’ll talk about whether your current time or frequency is still the right fit.

Do you take breaks or holidays?
Yes, typically two weeks over winter, two weeks in spring, and up to four weeks in summer, with advance notice given. These breaks aren’t charged. If you’re planning your own holiday, I just ask for two weeks’ notice.

Is there a minimum commitment?
There’s no fixed contract, and you’re free to end sessions at any time. That said, I do encourage clients to commit to at least 6 sessions, as this gives us both a real sense of how we work together and enough time for therapy to start taking effect. Beyond that, when it feels right to finish, we’ll usually agree a short ending period (typically two weeks) so we can reflect and close the work together.

Is what I say confidential?
Yes. I keep brief, secure notes on the main themes of our sessions. As a BACP member, I follow their ethical framework, and I discuss anonymised themes (not names) with my supervisor as part of good practice. Confidentiality would only be broken if I had serious concerns about your safety or someone else’s, and I’d always discuss this with you first wherever possible.

What happens to my information?
I collect only what’s needed to provide the service, hold session notes securely for seven years after our work ends (a legal requirement), and never share your data for research or marketing. Full details are in my Privacy Policy.
