Working Together

Deciding to start therapy takes courage and looking for a therapist can be a daunting process.

​If you think I sound like a good fit the first step is to book an initial session where we'll talk about what brings you to therapy and explore your hopes and expectations. It will be a chance for you to get a sense of how I work and whether you feel comfortable talking to me, as well as for me to see whether I feel I’ll be able to support you. (See my FAQs for why I might decide not to work with you.) There’ll also be space to answer any questions or concerns you may have. I offer both in-person and online sessions.

This initial session will be a shorter than usual – 30-40 minutes instead of 50 – and cost £50.

If we decide to continue working together, we'll set up a regular appointment, on the same day, at the same time, every week. Ongoing sessions last 50 minutes and are priced on a sliding scale, which you can read about on my rates page. The standard cost is £65.

Counselling can be rewarding and liberating but at times also challenging. So, I encourage anyone starting therapy to think about what will help them get the most out of counselling and what will enable them to fully commit to it.
