Sessions & Fees

Supporting your wellbeing at a pace that feels right for you

Sessions

I offer individual counselling and integrative psychotherapy for adults aged 18 and over, online throughout the UK and on a limited in-person basis from my therapy room in Purbeck, Dorset.

Sessions are usually 60 minutes and may be weekly or fortnightly. Therapy can be short-term, longer-term or open-ended, depending on your needs and what feels right for you.

EMDR therapy is also available online and in person, following appropriate assessment and preparation.

Online appointments are held through Zanda Health, a secure, GDPR-compliant platform that also manages appointments and reminders.
