Services & Fees

I offer therapy for adults, young adults and couples both in-person in Christchurch and online across the UK.

Initial Telephone Consultation

I offer a free initial telephone consultation to briefly discuss what has brought you to therapy, answer any questions you may have, and explore whether working together feels right for you.

Assessments

Individual Assessment

Couples Assessment

The initial assessment provides an opportunity for us to think together about your current difficulties, personal history and what you may be hoping for from therapy. It also allows us to consider the most appropriate way of working moving forward.

Couples Therapy

Sessions are usually held weekly at the same time each week to provide consistency, stability and continuity within the therapeutic work.

Payment & Cancellation Policy

Payment can be made via bank transfer before the session or in cash on the day.

Please be aware that missed appointments or sessions cancelled with insufficient notice are charged at the full session fee.

Concessions

I understand that therapy can be a significant financial commitment and I may be able to offer a limited number of reduced-fee spaces for those on lower incomes. Please feel free to enquire about current availability.

Services

Initial Telephone Consultation

I offer a free 20-minute telephone consultation where we can briefly discuss what has been bringing you to therapy at this time and whether counselling may feel helpful for you.

This also provides an opportunity for you to ask any questions about the way I work and to get a sense of whether working together feels right for you. If you decide you would like to proceed, we can then arrange an initial assessment appointment.

Assessment

The initial assessment offers a space for us to begin thinking together about what is currently troubling you, your personal history, and what you may be hoping for from therapy.

By the end of the assessment, we can consider together how best to proceed. This may involve open-ended therapy, time-limited work, further assessment sessions, or where appropriate, a referral to another service that may better meet your needs.

Individual assessments last approximately 60 minutes. Couples assessments last approximately 90 minutes.

Individual Therapy Sessions

Following the assessment, and if we agree to work together, we will arrange a regular weekly session at the same time each week.

Sessions last for 50 minutes and provide a consistent, confidential and supportive space to explore your thoughts, feelings, relationships and experiences at a pace that feels manageable for you.

Couples Therapy Sessions

Couples therapy begins with an initial assessment process consisting of four sessions.

The first session is attended together and offers space to explore the current difficulties within the relationship, the history of the relationship, and your hopes for therapy moving forward. This session lasts approximately 90 minutes.

I then meet with each partner individually to gain a fuller understanding of your individual histories, experiences and perspectives.

Following this, we meet together again to think about how best to proceed with the therapy, whether that involves open-ended work, a more focused time-limited approach, or where appropriate, signposting to another service.
