Sessions & Fees

Counselling together

Before we begin

I offer a free 15-minute consultation so you can get a sense of how I work and ask any questions you may have. You’re welcome to share any worries about therapy, as well as any access needs or requirements.

Our first session

Our first full session is a chance to explore what’s brought you here, what you’re hoping for and how we might work together. As part of our ongoing work, we’ll also check in from time to time about how the process feels for you, what’s helping and what you might like to be different.

Frequency and length

Sessions last 50 minutes. I tend to work with clients on a weekly basis, as this helps create continuity, depth and a sense of safety in the work. That said, we can work in a way that feels realistic and sustainable for you, whether that’s weekly, fortnightly, occasional check-ins or within a particular timeframe.

We can find a regular day and time that works for you, which I’ll hold as your space. If your schedule varies, we can work more flexibly where possible.

The length of counselling varies from person to person. Some people come for a number of weeks or months, particularly when focusing on something specific, while others choose to work longer term when exploring more complex or longstanding experiences. 

We’ll review things together as we go. You’re always free to pause or end therapy when it feels right for you.

Location

Sessions are offered online (UK-wide) or in person at The Cherry Tree Therapy Centre, Buckhurst Hill (IG9). I’ll be relocating to Teesside in Summer 2026, where in-person sessions will be offered locally.

In-person sessions take place in a calm, homely building with welcoming rooms. There is a WC, free on-street parking and the space is wheelchair accessible. The location is also easily reached by public transport, just a short walk from Roding Valley station and around 10 minutes on foot from Woodford or Buckhurst Hill stations.

Online sessions are held via Google Meet and can be joined on a computer, tablet or smartphone. You don’t need to download any software, you can simply use the secure link I send before each session. For online sessions, you’ll need to be in a comfortable and private space.

Fees

Individual sessions

£55  (50 minutes)

Sessions are payable prior to each appointment and I’ll send payment details when we book in.

Concessions

I offer a limited number of reduced-rate spaces for people on low income.

Please feel free to ask about availability, there’s no pressure or need to justify your circumstances.

Cancellation & rescheduling

Life happens, plans change.

If you need to cancel or move a session, I simply ask for 24 hours notice.

Sessions cancelled with less than 24 hours notice are charged in full.

Block-booking refunds are offered for any unused sessions, provided they fall outside the 24-hour cancellation window.
