WHAT ARE YOUR FEES?

HOW OFTEN / MANY ARE THE SESSIONS?

Regularity is important for the therapeutic process and most people have one session a week but this can vary depending on your needs and availability. This is talked about at our first session.
As for how many sessions? This is really down to you and there is no pressure to continue and sessions are booked one at a time.

One of my values is that therapy should be available to those who need it and to increase accessibility, I do what I can to keep costs as low as possible. With this in mind, session fees are currently kept to £50 per session for phone or video sessions. In-person sessions are available at my Broomhill practice and cost £60 per session.


A discounted rate of £40 per session is available for full-time students or counselling students (proof of eligibility required).

Therapy sessions can be had in person from my practice located in Broomhill, Sheffield, by Zoom or by phone (or any combination of these). 

​

Sessions are available;

10am to 8pm - Monday to Thursday

10am to 7pm - Friday

10am to 12pm Saturday (In-person sessions only)

WHAT HAPPENS AT THE FIRST SESSION?

WHERE AND WHEN ARE SESSIONS AVAILABLE?

The first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other, for you to ask questions and for me to get a deeper understanding of what brings you to counselling. We will talk about what you hope to get out of counselling and you can decide if you want you continue.
