Pricing & faq

How much does therapy cost?​​

I charge £90 for each 50 minute session.

​

​​​

How do I book a first meeting?​

Reach out to me by email or phone and we can book a time to meet in person at my therapy room on a Monday near Goodge Street or Tuesday near Archway.

​

​​

Do you work with private healthcare insurance?​​

Yes, I work with AVIVA, AXA Health and Vitality Health.

​

​​

What can I expect from the first session?​​​

The first session is for both of us to decide whether it feels like the right fit. I may ask a few more questions about your history to get an idea of how I can best help you. If it feels right for you we can arrange a time for us to meet weekly and if I feel a different service might better fit your needs I will be transparent and let you know.​

​​

​

What is your past experience and what disorders do you work with?​

I try and focus on the person as a whole before the disorder.

​​

I have a wide range of experience. I have worked for the NHS, charities and private healthcare providers including inpatient, outpatient and day care.

​

I have experience working with the following:
Depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship problems, OCD, anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, PTSD, ADHD, autism, emotionally unstable personality disorder, depersonalisation, dissociative identity disorder, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, schizophrenia, paranoia.

​​

​

Do you offer therapy remotely?​

I prefer to do therapy in person. If we have an established therapeutic relationship in person and you move somewhere or spend a prolonged periods away, we can continue using Zoom.

​​

​

How do I pay for sessions?

For the first session I will send you a link to pay before the session along with a client details form.

After this, if we continue working together I will send you an invoice at the beginning of each month which covers the previous month's sessions.

​​

​

Do you charge if I cancel a session?

For psychotherapy to maintain momentum I think it is best for it to be weekly. If a session is cancelled with less than 4 days notice it will be charged. If therapy starts becoming irregular we can review things and if it feels like the right thing work towards an ending.

​​

​

Is therapy confidential?

Therapy is confidential. If I have immediate concerns about your safety or the safety of someone else confidentiality will be breached. In this very rare situation I will be transparent about what information is being passed onto another service and why.

​​

​

Is therapy regulated, do you receive supervision?

Yes, I am regulated by a professional organisation called the UKCP, my UKCP registration number is 2011186181. I adhere to the UKCP code of ethics. I have regular supervision and have my own psychoanalysis.
