Appointments & Fees
Beginning counselling is a significant step. I aim to make the process straightforward, clear and respectful from the outset.
Initial Appointment
Our first session is an opportunity for us to talk about what has brought you to counselling and what you hope for from the work.
It is also a chance for us to see if it feels like a good fit. The relationship between counsellor and client is central to effective therapy, and you are under no obligation to continue if you feel it is not the right fit for you.
The initial session lasts 50 minutes and is charged at the standard rate.
Ongoing Sessions
If we decide to work together, sessions are usually held weekly at the same time each week, providing consistency and continuity. Some flexibility may be possible where needed.
We may agree to work for a set number of sessions or on an open-ended basis, depending on your preferences and what you would like to explore:
Short-term work: Focused exploration around a specific issue or transition.
Longer-term counselling: Open-ended support allowing space for deeper reflection.
We will discuss your expectations at the start and regularly review our work as we go. Endings are always approached thoughtfully and collaboratively.
Sessions last 50 minutes.
“Life MOT”
I offer a focused two- or three-session package designed to review key areas of your life or explore a specific transition or decision.
This can be a standalone piece of work or, if appropriate, a starting point for longer-term counselling. Sessions are charged at the standard individual rate.
Couples Counselling
Relationship counselling provides a contained space to work through communication, connection, and family dynamics. Sessions last for 50 minutes.
Please note: I do not provide couples counselling where there are active concerns regarding domestic abuse, violence, or coercive and controlling behaviour. We will discuss your circumstances before therapy begins to ensure that the support offered is safe and appropriate for everyone involved.
Fees
Standard Rate individuals: £80 per session
Standard rate Couples: £100 per session
EAP clients: £150 per session
If your household income is below £35k, a reduced rate of £65 per individual session is sometimes available (subject to availability). Please mention this when making your initial enquiry.
Fees are reviewed periodically.
Payment
Payment is usually made by bank transfer in advance of the session. For face-to-face appointments in Central Cambridge, payment at the beginning of the session is also accepted.
Appointments are reserved exclusively for you. Missed sessions or cancellations are charged in full unless at least 48 hours’ notice is given.
Confidentiality
All sessions are confidential and conducted in accordance with the BACP Ethical Framework.
If working online, sessions are held using secure, encrypted platforms, and every care is taken to ensure complete privacy, professional safety, and data security are maintained.
