Sessions & Fees

Supporting your wellbeing at a pace that feels right for you

Sessions

 

Face-to-Face Sessions

A limited number of in-person sessions are available at my private practice in Purbeck, Dorset.

 

Professional Online Sessions​​

Most of my sessions are offered remotely via secure Zoom Telehealth. This means you can attend therapy from the comfort and privacy of your own space — wherever you are in the UK.

​

Many clients find online therapy deeply personal and just as effective as in-person sessions.
These are live, private and confidential,  1-1 sessions, I join you from my private office. 

 

This also offers flexibility for you  — no travel, no parking, and the ability to access support from your own familiar environment.

​

EMDR can also be delivered remotely.

I use professional bilateral stimulation tools (light bar, moving ball, or audio tones) to provide effective, evidence-based EMDR online.

​

Secure Platform​

My booking system and remote telehealth sessions are powered by Zanda Health, a secure GDPR-compliant platform that offers hassle-free scheduling, reminders, and privacy protection.

 

If you’re unsure whether online therapy is right for you, I’ll happily talk it through during a free initial call.

​

​Session Duration

  • Weekly Sessions: 1 hour (recommended for continuity)

  • Short-Term Work: 6–12 sessions

  • Open-Ended Work: Ongoing, for as long as you need.

​

We can decide together what feels right for you — whether that’s a focused short-term block or a more open-ended therapeutic journey.
