Your First Steps

What happens if I want to find out more before I book a session?

I offer a free 20-minute online introductory chat, this is an opportunity to ask questions, share a little about what is bringing you to counselling, and get a sense of whether you feel comfortable working with me.

Starting counselling can feel daunting, and many people tell me they've been thinking about it for months before getting in touch.

You don't need to prepare anything or have things figured out.

Our first session is simply a chance to meet, talk about what's been happening for you, and see whether working together feels like the right fit. We'll go at a pace that feels comfortable for you, with no pressure to share more than feels right.

Every person is different, so I tailor my approach to you rather than following one set way of working.

Fees and Booking 

Here you'll find information about session fees and booking options

I offer Weekly and Fortnightly sessions, they can be online or face to face in Bristol. 

I currently have availablity for clients from October 2026, I update this website regularly with my availability

 

 Fees and payment information

I aim to be transparent, inclusive and flexible with my pricing, ensuring that quality support is within reach.

Integrated Counselling sessions

I offer Integrated Counselling or Somatic IFS-Informed Therapy, or a combination of both.

 

I offer a sliding-scale fee of £35–£55 per 60-minute session, so that therapy can be more accessible to people with different financial circumstances.

 

**£35 — Reduced rate**

For students, people on a lower income, or anyone for whom the standard fee would be a barrier

 

**£45 — Standard rate**

For those who can comfortably manage a mid-range fee.

 

**£55 — Full rate**

For those who are able to comfortably afford the full session fee

There is no need to provide proof of income. I trust you to choose the rate that feels appropriate and sustainable for you.

 

All three rates offer are for Integrated Counselling and Somatic & IFS-informed Therapy. The level of support you receive does not change according to the fee you pay.

 

If your circumstances change, we can review your fee together. My aim is to make therapy feel accessible and inclusive

Supported Ways to Pay for Counselling

I believe that accessing therapy should feel as accessible and inclusive.

I welcome clients who have funding through the Government's Access to Work scheme. If you've been awarded funding to support your mental health or wellbeing at work, we can explore whether counselling with me can form part of your support package.

 I'm always happy to answer questions and help you find the option that feels right for you.

Some of my clients also receive Personal Independence Payment (PIP) and choose to use part of this benefit towards counselling. While PIP doesn't directly fund therapy, it can help people access the support that feels right for them.

If you're insured with WPA and your policy includes counselling or talking therapies, you may be able to use your health insurance to cover the cost of your sessions.

I'm a registered WPA Counsellor, so if you're eligible, I can work with you and WPA to make the process as straightforward as possible.

I also work with clients who have had their own company and organisations support the costs of sessions
