Supervision: I currently have some availability for new supervisees
Sometimes taking that first step can be toughest. So, first of all, well done for browsing.
The next step would be to arrange an initial session. This is where we explore where you are, what you’d like to get out of therapy and to get a feel as to whether we feel we are a good fit to work together. You can contact me to arrange a mutually convenient appointment and fees (see separate faq).
At the end of that first session, you can decide whether or not you want to continue the work with me and how frequently. Or you could take some time to think about it and come back to me.
If you need clarification of anything, please feel free to ask. Every question is welcome! And so are you!
You don’t need to be tied to one specific slot every week if that doesn’t work for you – we can schedule as we go along. However, if a fixed slot a week is your preference, we can endeaovour to work that way too: everyone is different, my commitment is to working with you in a way that best suits you (subject, of course, to any limitations of my diary).
However, in group work, we have to commit to the agreed weekly slot in order to minimise admin and maximise efficiency and effectiveness for the whole group.
I work online via Zoom and in -person from my cosy consulting room in my Newbury Park home, about 12 – 15 minute-walk from Newbury Park station, some 5 minutes from the nearest bus stop. On-street parking is available.
I ask for payment in advance of your session and the easiest way to do this is by direct bank transfer – details will be emailed to you after we’ve agreed to work together. If you could make sure your payment has been received a minimum of 48 hours before your session that will make my life easier and make sure your slot is reserved for you.
Here are the costs:
£65 to £85 for up to 60 minutes (Individuals)
£85 to £95 for up to 60 minutes (Couples/Family)
£25 for 90 minutes group therapy
Individual Supervision: £35 for up to 30minutes; £65 for up to 60 minutes; £85 for up to 90 minutes
Group supervision: £45 per person for 2 hours.
*I am open to discussing concessions with people who, due to current financial constraints, might not be able to otherwise access counselling/psychotherapy/coaching/supervision.
CANCELLATION: Please note: if for any reason you cannot make your session and let me know 48 hours in advance or earlier, you will receive a full refund or can rebook your sessions at a time to suit you, at no extra charge. If you cancel within less than 48 hours’ notice, every effort will be made to accommodate you but you may still be charged.
As much as possible, I like to offer flexibility and choice. I recognise that everyone is different and in a different place at every given point, so I like to offer a range so you can have a think and offer me what you’re most comfortable with within that range. There is no judgement on my part, and I will offer the same sterling service irrespective of the fee.

Tuesdays 08:30 to 14:45
Wednesdays 10:00 to 18:30

That’s okay, feel free to contact me with any further questions and I’ll always respond. If you receive no response from me 48 hours after you’ve contacted me, please check your spam folder just in case my reply went in there, or send me a text to 07941623411.
