Fees & Booking.
Transparent pricing, clear expectations and information about starting counselling and psychotherapy.
TAKING THE FIRST STEP
Start with an initial consultation.
The first step is to book an Initial Consultation. This is a 50 minute appointment where we'll explore what has brought you to counselling, discuss what you're hoping to gain from therapy, and begin developing an understanding of the areas where you'd like support.
Initial Consultations can take place either online or in person at my private therapy practice in Upper Heyford (near Bicester), Oxfordshire (OX25 5AF).
You'll also have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have and learn more about how I work. There is no pressure or obligation to continue with further sessions afterwards. If we both feel that working together is the right next step, we'll agree a plan for ongoing therapy at a pace that feels right for you.

ONGOING THERAPY
Finding a rhythm that works for you.
Many clients begin with weekly sessions to create consistency and make space for meaningful reflection and progress.
As therapy develops, some choose to move to fortnightly or monthly sessions, whilst others continue meeting more regularly depending on their circumstances and goals.
There is no fixed timescale and no expectation about how long therapy should last. We review this together throughout our work and adapt as your needs evolve.
For some people, therapy provides support through a particular period of challenge or change. For others, it becomes an opportunity for deeper self-understanding, personal growth and lasting change.
Together, we find a pace that feels right for you.
Ready to take the first step?
If you've found your way to this page, there's a good chance you've recognised something in your own experience.
You may already know what you'd like support with, or perhaps you're simply looking for a therapist whose approach feels right for you.
The first step is to book an Initial Consultation. This is a 50–60 minute appointment where we'll explore what has brought you to therapy, discuss what you're hoping to gain from counselling, and answer any questions you may have. It's also an opportunity for us both to consider whether my way of working feels like the right fit.
As an integrative and pluralistic counsellor and psychotherapist, I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Therapy is tailored to you, your experiences, your strengths and your goals.
There is no pressure or obligation to continue afterwards. If we both feel we're the right fit to work together, we'll agree a plan for ongoing therapy at a pace that feels right for you.
Understanding sessions, fees & your options…
-
No. There is no obligation to commit to a set number of sessions. Some people attend for a shorter period to work through a specific challenge, whilst others choose longer-term support. This is something we can discuss together and review as our work progresses.
-
Yes. If you feel ready to commit to regular therapy, block bookings are available at a slightly reduced rate compared to individual pay-as-you-go sessions.
Many people find this helpful as it allows them to invest in a period of consistent support whilst making a small saving at the same time. There is no obligation to purchase a block, and pay-as-you-go sessions are always available.
-
Yes. I offer a discounted rate for people currently working within emergency services as a small way of recognising the pressures and responsibilities often associated with these roles.
Please mention this when making an enquiry, and I can provide further information.
-
Walk and Talk Therapy is an alternative way of working together outdoors whilst walking side-by-side in a local setting.
Some people find walking helps conversations feel more natural and less intense than sitting face-to-face in a therapy room. It can also provide an opportunity to combine movement, fresh air and reflection as part of the therapeutic process.
Walk and Talk Therapy is available where appropriate and can be discussed as part of our work together.
-
Yes, where availability allows. Some clients prefer to remain online, whilst others attend in person or choose a combination of both. Flexibility can often make therapy easier to fit around work, family and other commitments.
-
Many people begin with weekly sessions before gradually increasing the time between appointments as things begin to feel more manageable. However, therapy isn't one-size-fits-all and we'll discuss a pace that feels appropriate for your needs and goals.
-
Payment can be made by bank transfer, cash or securely online using the Pay Now button on your invoice, which is processed through Stripe. Payment is due before or at the time of your session, unless we've agreed otherwise in advance.
