First session – assessment consultation

£60

Our first session together will be a more in-depth consultation, lasting 50min, in which we can discuss in more detail what brings you to therapy and how my approach can support you with that. I will undertake an assessment to understand better your history, current life and goals and expectations for therapy. I will detail and answer your questions around my working style, as well as address the practicalities of our contract: timing, payment, cancellation, holidays, etc.

Initial 15min call

Therapy works best when it feels like the right match.

I offer a free introductory call (about 15min), to get a sense of each other and discuss any questions or concerns you have about starting therapy with me.

Sessions and Fees

Individual therapy

£60

(I offer a number of concessions for students or people on low income, please ask)

Once we agree to work together, our sessions will be 50minutes every week, at the same time. We will undertake regular reviews to make sure therapy is beneficial, working towards your goals and address any challenges along the way.

FAQ

  • This depends on each individual and on a number of other factors, and we will work together to agree on what is realistic for your goals, resources and complexity of your challenges. In my experience a minimum commitment of 6-12 sessions is recommended for short-term work that addresses more specific goals or challenges. Deeper rooted and complex difficulties may require more time and I am open to making a longer-term commitment alongside clients who need it – this can be open-ended with regular reviews, or anywhere between 6 months and 1 year or more.

    You are free to exit therapy whenever you feel it’s not right or needed anymore, but I ask that we have a planned ending (a final session), to allow space for closure and a safe ending.

  • I have a 48-hour cancellation policy – this means you will need to pay in full for any missed session that you notified me less that 48-hours in advance.

  • At this moment, I can offer therapy sessions during term-time only, which means that my practice is closed during school holidays.

    If you have a holiday, I ask for a minimal of one week's notice, when possible.

  • My fee is £60 per session, with payment required by BACS in the same day as the session.

    *Concessionary rates are available for students or people on low income, please ask.

  • ​I will be available to you at your scheduled appointment time only.

    You will be able to reach me by email and phone, but for administrative matters only (cancellation, rescheduling, etc.). I aim to respond to this as soon as possible, during business hours (8-3pm).

    In the case of an emergency and requiring immediate support and/or intervention, you will need to seek other resources such as your GP, the Samaritans (call 116 123, www.samaritans.org), or, if necessary, emergency services.

  • At this moment, I offer only remote therapy, through platforms like Zoom or Teams.

    In the future, places may be available for in-person sessions at my practice in Sheffield. Please get in touch for more details.
