My fees are competitively priced and reflect my training and experience. Each therapy session cost:

Face to Face: £80

Remote/Online: £70

Most sessions will last 50-55 minutes unless agreed otherwise. 

This will vary for one individual to another. Some people will only require 1-6 sessions, others may need more. I offer both short term and long-term therapy and we can discuss your needs in the initial appointment. You are not obliged to have a set number of sessions and we will have planned review appointments as we go along to ensure you are getting the most out of your therapy. 

Starting therapy can sometimes be daunting, I will support you through this. Initially I will tell you about myself and introduce CBT. I will then collect some basic personal details. The rest of the session will be spent exploring your current difficulties and starting to explore what you would like to gain from therapy.

You don’t need to do anything specifically, but it can be helpful to think about what you would like to achieve from therapy.

Homework is a term often associated with CBT. This is because tasks between your sessions can give you the opportunity to practice the new skills you have developed. We will negotiate how much homework you have so it is manageable and helpful.

I offer both face to face CBT therapy or online therapy.

If you are unsure about therapy, it can be useful to have an open conversation about this. Finding the right qualified therapist, and one you have a connection with, is important so that you feel able to speak to them freely. Through our initial conversation we will explore if CBT could be beneficial for you, so you can decide if you want to book a session.

Yes it’s okay not to have a diagnosis. The idea of the initial appointments is to start understanding your problem in a way that we can identify maintaining processes. This is done collaboratively so you are supported at each stage.

CBT often focuses on the here and now, but it also explores our past in order to make sense of our belief system. If you don’t want to talk about your past that is okay - we can keep focused on present day problems. 

Some people find it helpful to make notes during therapy or at the end of the session. Therapy will be more helpful if you feel ready to make some changes.

Yes, your therapy sessions are confidential. This means that I do not share your information with anyone, other than for my personal supervision requirements and then your name will not be identified. Confidentiality will only be broken if I feel you are at risk to yourself, or others and I think you require support outside of what I can offer you. I will always tell you if I will breach confidentiality and explain why. An example might be me requesting your GP offers you an appointment.

The information I keep about you is protected under The Data Protection Act 2018 and includes your contact details and therapy notes. These are securely stored on a GDPR-compliant cloud-based notes system called ‘Write-Upp’. In order to be compliant with my insurance, client records are kept on this system for 7 years.
