FEES AND FAQ'S
What are your fees?
For counselling: I generally charge £65 per session, with a sliding scale for low/no income clients and student counsellors - see below for a guide. I don't believe you should have to spend a fortune finding the right therapist. I offer a free 15 minute intro call so you can ask questions and see how we might work together. Please contact me to get started.

For training workshops: prices vary dependent on a number of factors. Please get in touch to discuss your specific requirements.
Fee structure
Counselling has always been, and continues to be, financially inaccessible for many people. I aim to provide as many low/no cost counselling sessions as I can, but these spaces are limited. What you pay is up to you - I do not means test or ask for proof of income. Below is a guide, based on the amount of income you have for non-essentials. This is only a guide, however - I am open to discussing your specific circumstances. Availability of different price sessions changes frequently, so please reach out to have a chat even if the website indicates no availability.
I run a GoFundMe page to raise money for free sessions - please share and/or donate if you are able.

When are appointments available?
I usually see clients on Monday mornings (in-person), Monday evenings (online), Tuesday mornings (online) and Thursday evenings (online). As of January 2025, spaces are limited so please contact me for the most up to date picture.
Can you accommodate my access needs?
The room I use in Farnham is unfortunately not wheelchair accessible. There are two uneven steps into the building which are often manageable by clients using other mobility aids like crutches or walking frames - I can send photos and further information. I am committed to using a suitable alternative space for clients who cannot access my usual room but still wish to work with me in-person. I can work with you to create an accessible arrangement once I understand your specific requirements. Other access needs are accommodated on a case-by-case basis. As far as possible, I try to build other kinds of access needs into the fabric of sessions. I find it's easier to have a conversation about your individual needs so I can explain how they'll be met. Please reach out to discuss and I can send further details about options, tailored to you.
Do you see people who..?
Anyone is welcome here, however in some circumstances I might not be the right counsellor for you. I don't currently work with couples, families or those under 18. I am based in the UK and for insurance purposes, I am only able to work with UK based clients. My hope is that we can co-create a space where you can bring your entire self and whatever is troubling you. I have experience with with a variety of clients and situations but I will always be honest if I feel I'm not the right person to help you, and can assist you in finding alternative support. If you're unsure, you can book a free brief chat to see if we're suited to working together.
I've heard that counsellors should be registered with the BACP - are you?
There are a few different counsellor membership bodies of which the BACP (British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists) is one, and perhaps the most well known. My qualification course was a BACP approved course. This means the course met the standards set by the BACP. Until December 2024, I was a member of the BACP. I have now changed membership bodies from BACP t0 NCPS (National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society). Both organisations are established membership bodies that ensure counsellors meet certain standards in terms of their qualifications, ongoing training and ethical practice. Both are registered with the Professional Standards Authority. You can read more about the NCPS Accredited Register here and view my registration here. Please note that BACP membership may be required if you are a student counsellor on a BACP approved course looking for personal therapy - please consult your tutors if you're unsure.
