Fees & Session Packages

I believe in being entirely transparent about the cost of therapy so you can choose the support that best fits your lifestyle and budget. There are no hidden costs, and our work together is structured to give you a clear sense of grounding and safety.

Consultation

Before we begin, we will have a brief, 15-minute phone consultation which is free of charge. This is a no-obligation chat to ensure we are a good fit for each other and to answer any questions you might have.

For our therapy work, you can choose between two formats:

  1. Weekly video therapy is priced at £50 per session and consists of a traditional, 50-minute face-to-face online session held at the same time each week via a secure platform.

  2. Flexible text therapy is priced at £30 per week and provides a dedicated text-based space where you can message as things come up throughout the week. This is ideal if you prefer writing or have an unpredictable schedule, and it is paid weekly in advance. This service is not suitable if you are experiencing a crisis.

To give our therapeutic work a clear focus, I work within a structured framework. I suggest an initial 12-week programme for both online video and text therapy. For many individuals, 12 weeks provide the necessary time to process acute difficulties, discover coping mechanisms, and find stability. Because healing is rarely linear, we will review our progress regularly. If we reach the end of the 12 weeks and feel there is more ground to cover, we have the option to extend our work for a further agreed block.

Endings

Endings are a significant part of the therapeutic process, particularly when working through grief and loss. Whether we complete the initial 12 weeks or work together longer, I highly encourage that we dedicate some time to a planned ending rather than stopping abruptly. This allows us to safely wrap up our conversations and think about the progress you have made.

Payment and Cancellations

Fees for video sessions are payable via bank transfer 24 hours before the session. I operate a 24-hour cancellation policy for video appointments. Our 12-session contract runs across a fixed 12-week timeframe. Your weekly slot is reserved exclusively for you each week. If you miss a session or cancel with less than 24 hours' notice, that week’s session is lost, it cannot be rolled over to add an extra week to the contract, and the full fee remains payable. If you cancel with more than 24 hours' notice, we will simply extend the contract by a week to ensure you receive your full 12 sessions.

For text-based therapy, fees are paid weekly in advance via bank transfer. If you decide to bring the text therapy to a close before the end of the 12 weeks, I require 1 week's notice so that we can use that final week to reflect on our work and end the process meaningfully.

The first step is often the hardest. Book a no-obligation, 15-minute chat to discuss what brings you to therapy and how I can can help.
