In-person sessions
A calm room in Walthamstow
In-person sessions take place in a quiet, private room with soft light, plants and comfortable seating, a space designed to help you settle in and feel at ease.
You’ll receive the full address and arrival details once we have agreed to work together. If you would prefer to meet online, sessions are also available over Google Meet.
Before you get in touch
How much does a therapy session cost?
Online sessions are £55 and in-person sessions are £65.
How long do sessions last and how often will I have them?
Sessions last 50 minutes and take place weekly at a mutually agreed time.
Do you offer low cost prices?
Yes. Please mention this in your enquiry, as I offer a limited number of reduced-rate spaces for clients on lower incomes.
Do you offer student therapist rates?
Yes. Please mention this in your enquiry, as I offer a limited number of reduced-rate spaces for clients currently in training.
Do you offer open ended therapy?
In our consultation we can discuss whether you would like to agree on a set number of sessions to focus on a specific goal, or work together with no set end date. This gives you space to explore deeper or changing needs at your own pace. We will check in to see how the work feels and you can change your choice at any time.
How many sessions will I need?
The number of therapy sessions you need depends on your personal goals and the complexity of your challenges.
Where are your In-Person sessions held?
In a welcoming, confidential space in Walthamstow.
What is your cancellation policy?
I ask that clients cancel or reschedule at least 24 hours before their appointment to avoid being charged the full session fee.
Is the 20 minute consultation free?
Yes, the 20-minute consultation is free and there is no obligation to continue with my services if you don’t feel it is a good fit.
What will I speak about in the consultation?
This space is dedicated to understanding your reasons for seeking therapy, exploring your past experiences, and determining how we can work together effectively.
