Services, 
Booking and Research

As a Person-Centred Experiential Psychotherapist and Freelance Social Researcher, I offer both therapeutic and research services.

Services

Free introductory consultation:

I offer a free 20 minute introductory consultation. This gives you a chance to ask any questions you might have and experience what it might be like to work together. Book your introductory consultation here using this link.

Session type:

I offer 50 minute sessions taking place on Zoom or by phone. You can choose which option feels best for you.

I work with individual clients over the age of 18. 

Rates and payment:

If you are booking from the UK, sessions cost £50. If you are booking from the Republic of Ireland or EU, sessions cost € equivalent of £50.

  • Sessions are payable via bank transfer or PayPal. PayPal is a secure way of paying online - find out more about PayPal here.

  • When you book a session, you will be directed to pay via a payment link. Alternatively, payment can be made via PayPal using this link.

  • Repeat clients can also find bank transfer details in your client contract. 

  • Please note: if you are booking from the Republic of Ireland or EU, you will be able to pay via PayPal or bank transfer.

I offer a reserved number of spaces at a 20% reduced rate for people who do care work. Find out more here.

I also host a Pay it Forward Fund to help make counselling and psychotherapy accessible to people who would otherwise be unable to afford it. Due to high demand, the waiting list is now closed. Once those currently on the list have accessed the fund, it will be reopened. 

Third party payments:

I also accept third party payments. For example, if your employer, a loved one or someone else wishes to pay for your session(s) on your behalf. However, where a third party is paying for your session(s), I require them to sign a third party payment contract. This confirms that while they are paying for the sessions, the sessions are completely confidential and they are not entitled to any information about you or your support. 

Choosing how many sessions to book:

There is no minimum or maximum number of sessions that you can book. Every person is unique and I work in a way that meets your individual needs. That involves regular check-ins during our sessions tor reflect on how you feel counselling and psychotherapy is working for you, as well as moving toward meeting your personal goals.

My availability:

I am currently open to new clients. I offer sessions on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. You can see my ongoing availability calendar on my booking page here.

Research

Commission me for freelance research:

As a freelance Social Researcher, my areas of expertise are health and social care research, participatory action research, and service evaluation. I'm particularly connected to exploring the intersections of individual experience and the societal structures through which we move. Reflecting this, my professional and academic career has focused to date on exploring the resourcing and experiencing of communities marginalised by systemic inequities.

 

My skill set is constituted by six years of conducting mixed methods research, ten years working in health and social care, multi-project management, and psychotherapy training. Together these experiences inform my approach and values. If you would like to discuss commissioning me for freelance research, please contact me via this form.
