Fees 2021

What are the costs for counselling, psychotherapy & EMDR?

Charging for therapy is a delicate matter and the cost can sometimes feel overwhelming for some, or appear too small for others. I experimented over the years with fee structures and what I noticed is that those who value their own wellbeing are more likely to benefit from therapy. Investment and commitment in your therapy is a positive sign and will create better therapeutic outcomes. My prices are adjusted annually and below is my fee structure for 2021.

First Contact:

The first contact over phone is free and for us both to get to know each other. My aim is to get a sense for what may be going on for you so I understand whether I can help you. During this call we agree on a day and time for a first introductory session. During the introductory session we will also discuss my pricing and billing to determine what suits you best.

  •  Initial Phone Consultation (15 min): free
  •  Introductory Session: £70 or £100

Sessions:

There are several factors that influence the cost of therapy, and therefore I need to find out first about your circumstances. Influencing factors are the length of sessions, frequency and how you book them.

  •  Regular Session: 50 minutes
  • Couple or more than one person: 60 minutes
  • EMDR: 60-90 minutes
