My therapeutic approach is culturally informed, integrative, and psychologically rigorous.

Discussing Fees
Fees are provided after we have spoken and I have a clear understanding of your unique circumstances and therapeutic goals. This allows the fee to reflect the specific level and structure of support that will best meet your needs. Although each service has a standard fee, these are shared only once your needs are established and the right service has been identified.
Below is an overview of the therapeutic and professional services available.
Initial Psychological Assessment
The initial assessment is a 90-minute appointment and is more comprehensive than a standard therapy session.
It includes:
- an in-depth exploration of your psychological history
- an assessment of current difficulties, emotional patterns, and goals
- a review of relevant life experiences and relational themes
- structured psychological questionnaires (where clinically appropriate) to assess schemas, emotional modes, and underlying patterns
This extended process allows for accurate formulation, clarity, and a personalised treatment plan. It also includes clinical time outside the session for analysis, interpretation, and integration of questionnaire data.
Ongoing Therapy Sessions
Follow-up sessions offer continued therapeutic work tailored to your individual goals.
These sessions include:
- 50–60 minutes of direct therapeutic work
- an additional period reserved for essential clinical administration (treatment planning, preparation, and notes)
- integrative therapeutic approaches suited to your presentation
- support with emotional regulation, deeper processing, and long-term insight
Sessions may take place in person or online.
A limited number of appointments are offered each week to ensure high-quality, personalised care.
If you choose to opt in to my GDPR compliant, secure AI-assisted note-taking platform, you may also receive weekly session summaries. Full information and consent are provided beforehand.
EMDR Therapy
EMDR sessions are structured in extended 90-minute appointments to allow:
- safe and contained processing
- grounding and stabilisation
- completion of EMDR protocol phases at a clinically appropriate pace
In addition, EMDR sessions utilise a specialist bilateral stimulation kit that provides coordinated visual, tactile, and audio bilateral input. This enhances the precision and quality of EMDR processing and supports deeper regulation throughout the session, offering a more stabilising and effective trauma-focused experience.
These sessions may be part of ongoing therapy or offered as a focused treatment pathway.
Enhanced & Premium Support Services
For clients seeking a higher-touch, more personalised therapeutic experience, I offer a range of optional enhanced services. These may be particularly helpful for individuals working through complex histories, high-stress roles, or ongoing psychological work requiring additional support.
Enhanced services include:
- 50–60 minutes of direct therapeutic work
- Session Summaries
- Personalised Audio Practices
- Document Review
- Therapeutic Progress Summaries
- Post-Therapy Check-In Sessions
- Priority Scheduling
- Reflective Journaling Tools
- Out-of-Hours Appointments (subject to availability)
- Professional Letters, including:
- University mitigating-circumstances or exam-adjustment letters
- Workplace / HR documentation
- Housing or institutional letters
- ESA letters
- PIP psychological-function support documentation
All enhanced services are optional and discussed as needed.
ESA / PIP Documentation
ESA or PIP psychological support letters are provided only when clinically appropriate and require a full psychological assessment. These documents follow strict professional, ethical, and legal standards.
Special Scheduling Requests
Some clients require sessions:
- outside usual clinic hours
- standard 50-60 minute appointments
- on non-clinic days
- during planned time off
- or at specific times that require diary restructuring
- sessions involving family members or partners
These may be available depending on clinical need and capacity.
Sessions involving partners or family members will be considered based on clinical need and require additional therapeutic planning.
These are not emergency services but offer additional flexibility where appropriate.
Optional Pre-Paid Packages
Some clients choose to reserve a block of sessions to support therapeutic continuity and momentum. For those who prefer this approach, I offer:
- 6 sessions — 5% reduction
- 12 sessions — 5% reduction
Packages are paid upfront and scheduled flexibly.
The 48-hour cancellation policy applies to each session.
Practice Model & Payment Terms
To maintain a clear, structured, and professional service:
- I work exclusively with self-funding clients
- Payment is required in advance to secure your appointment
- At least 48 working hours’ notice is required for cancellations or rescheduling
- Sessions cancelled or changed within this window are charged in full
- Late arrivals end at the scheduled time with the full session fee applying
