What are your fees?

First appointment – £150 for 70 minutes

Standard rate – I offer a sliding scale from £80 to £130 per 50 minute session.

I am a recognised healthcare provider with AXA, Aviva, Cigna and WPA insurance.

Concessions may be discussed during our initial telephone consultation.

**48 hours notice is required if appointments are cancelled or changed**

How does virtual therapy work?

Virtual therapy takes place over Zoom, a video conferencing software, which meets GDPR requirements. You are encouraged find a private space from which to take your therapy sessions, and a laptop or desk top screen are advised to get the most from our time together.

Why do you charge for missed appointments?

Once we agree a regular time to meet, this time is yours regardless of whether we meet or not. I am not able to fill your appointment time at short notice and have limited availability. Sessions are cancelable up to 48 hours in advance, at which point you will incur the full cost of the session.

How do I know if you’re the right therapist for me?

Before making a first appointment we will arrange an initial telephone consultation to discuss your needs and arrange a time to meet. At our first appointment we will explore what brings you to therapy, a bit about you and what you hope to get from the work. The first appointment usually takes around 60 – 70 minutes.

How long will therapy take and how will I know when to end?

At our first session we agree a therapy contract together. Usually we will book an initial block of sessions and review this before agreeing further work. Schema Therapy is typically a medium to long-term approach, and 24 sessions+ would be recommended. We will discuss when you feel ready to end a longer-term piece of work and will spend time preparing for this in advance, but you are, of course, free to terminate therapy at any time you see fit.

Do you offer a concessionary rate?

I offer a limited number of concessionary slots to those who may be unemployed or on low income.
