Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the first step?
​
After you get in touch, we’ll arrange a free GoogleMeet video call (up to 30 min). This gives us a chance to meet, speak about what brings you to therapy and how you hope therapy will help. It’s also a chance for you to ask any questions, talk about practical things, such as times, fees and book our initial appointment.
​
What are your fees?
​
My fees are:
-
counselling and psychotherapy session, £70 for each weekly 50-minute
-
Single Session Therapy, £110 for an up to 90 minutes session.
-
coaching session, £100 for each up to 60-minute.
​
I offer a limited number of slots for online sessions at a sliding scale fee for clients on low income and trainee counsellors. Even if money is tight right now, I encourage you to get in touch to check availability.
​
What can I expect from the first session?
​
Starting therapy can be daunting, particularly if it’s the first time you ask for help. The initial appointment is not a therapy session. It’s a 60 minute meeting in which I’ll ask questions to find out more about you and we’ll explore what’s brought you to therapy and what preferences you have for our work. This meeting is an opportunity for us to find out if we are a good fit. Once you decide to continue working with me I will secure for you the time slot we agreed on.
​
How many sessions do I need?
​
Everyone has unique needs, and we'll take the time to figure out what feels right for you when we begin.
I typically work with clients on an open-ended basis, allowing for deeper exploration and ongoing support. This means we’ll continue working together until you feel ready to stop. However, if you prefer a more structured approach, we can agree on a specific number of sessions for time-limited therapy.
Whatever option you choose, you’re free to end our sessions at any time. Some clients also return for additional support when they feel the need. And that’s ok, too.
​
Another option is Single Session Therapy (SST). If this interests you, you can learn more under What is Single Session Therapy (SST)?
​
Therapy takes time, effort and commitment but the benefits are great.
What is Single Session Therapy (SST)?
Single-Session Therapy (SST) is a focused form of therapy designed to last for just one session. If we haven’t met before, there will be less time to get to know one another or explore your background in depth as we would do in ongoing therapy.
​
To help us make the most of our time together, I’ll send you a questionnaire beforehand. This will help you clarify the issue you’d like to work on and give me an opportunity to prepare in advance. During the session, we’ll agree on what is realistically achievable and concentrate on that.
​
For some people a single session is enough. However, it’s true that a single session has its limits so additional support is always available.
​
SST may be particularly helpful if:
-
You’d like to try therapy before committing to a longer process.
-
You prefer therapy intermittently, as and when you need it.
-
You want support to work through a difficult decision.
-
You feel stuck or want to address relationship challenges.
-
You’re experiencing emotions like anxiety, guilt, shame, anger, or finding life hard to manage.
-
You’re looking for a reflective space for personal growth.
SST offers several benefits, such as its efficiency, affordability, and accessibility. That said, it isn’t suitable for all clients or all types of challenges.
Research shows that simply attending one session can sometimes be enough to kick-start the process of making changes to your life.
​
The fee is £110 for an up to 90 minutes SST appointment. Get in touch if you are interested to book a session.
