Fees & Data Protection

If you would like to discuss your requirements by phone, I can offer you a FREE initial 20 minute session.

Fees for Individuals

Initial hourly Consultation/Assessment session (50min) and each subsequent hourly session (50min) : £85 (£95 after 5pm)

Extended 1.5hr session (80mins) : £125 (£135 after 5pm)

NB: I predominantly work with individuals but may consider working with couples, space permitting:

Fees for Couples

Initial hourly Consultation session (50min) and each subsequent hourly session (50min) : £125 (£135 after 5pm)

Extended 1.5hr session (80mins): £185 (£195 after 5pm)

Concessionary/Additional Rates

I do carry a couple of lower fee concessionary places each week. If you want to enquire about one of these, please let me know, but please also be aware that these are quite often already reserved.

Session fees can be paid by cash (if in person), Bank Transfer or Paypal, either in advance or at the time of the session.

PayPal – The safer, easier way to pay online!

In setting my fees I try to strike a balance between my worth as an experienced therapist who is solely self-employed alongside an affordable structure which allows people with a range of incomes to be able to access therapy with me.

My fees are revised periodically and I undertake to give you a minimum of one-month notice of any changes. I also trust that if your income changes (up or down), you will let me know and we can reflect that in a renegotiated fee.

I am also willing, if it’s appropriate to see you on a more flexible basis (fortnightly, monthly check-in etc) and this can spread your therapy cost out. It may mean progress is a bit slower or you do more work between sessions yourself.

If your income is below £22,000 p.a. you may be eligible for low-cost counselling at either The Psychosynthesis Trust or one of the LGBT charities, including The Albany Trust. I can also make other recommendations for low cost counselling if required.

Data Protection

I comply with the Data Protection Act and am Registered with the ICO, (Registration Reference: ZA158801).

I have password protection and encryption on all devices that use electronic data, such as computer/phone/tablet. No one has access to passwords on devices but me, so if we communicate via any of those methods in the way of email or text, you can be assured of confidentiality. I will only keep said correspondence for as long as necessary either to process your request, or during and after either our correspondence or our working together, after such times, the data will be deleted.
