Ongoing counselling

My standard hourly fee is £50

I offer occasional concessions and also invite higher fees within the guiding, sliding scale shown below. Please note that:

• Most people I see pay the standard fee which aligns with what local therapists charge per session (see below for evidence).

• If I have availability for any concessions, these are offered to people who attend weekly appointments unless unavoidable factors (see FAQs > Working agreement) prevent this. 

• If you're willing to pay a higher fee, this helps me to balance out concessionary rates and maintain a sense of fairness based on people's ability to pay.

• If you can't attend weekly, the default option is to pay my standard fee or agreed higher fee when we meet.

Longer, deep-dive sessions

Two or three hour deep-dive sessions are agreed on an individual, case-by-case basis. They are for people who are:

• Settled and established in the counselling process.

• Able to self-regulate emotional distress.

• Clear about the issue they want to explore.

If paying £50 per hour and above for standard appointments, I offer a £5 reduction per hour for hours one and two and a £10 reduction for hour three. Deep-dive sessions typically involve timely creative experiments, a balancing practice such as EFT and spaces for quiet reflection.
