Prices from 1st June 2023

Assessments cost £75 for between 60 and 75 minutes.

Therapy sessions cost £65 for 55 minutes or £95 for 85 minutes.

I accept payment via Bank Transfer and request payment 2 working days in advance of the agreed session time.

I offer all new clients an initial assessment which lasts between 60 and 75 minutes.

This gives us both the opportunity to meet and to explore how we might work together to support you.

When an assessment is booked I will email a document to you which gives you details of where to find me and what to expect on arrival. 

I meet all clients at the door. There is no receptionist or waiting room staff for you to talk to as I believe in a personal approach.

During the assessment I will write down relevant details to help me get as clear a picture as I can about the issues you want to discuss. I keep the session informal and warm with an emphasis on us having a conversation. It will not be an interview although I will need to ask questions on occasion.

There may be the opportunity to offer some immediate support in an assessment but, depending on the issues you bring, it may be more about information gathering so I am able to suggest a suitable therapeutic approach. 

After the assessment you will not be pressured into making a commitment to further therapy. I will describe what I think the work entails and do my best to give an indication of whether this may be short or long term work. 

I will encourage you to take your time and think about what you want to do.

This process is broadly the same for face to face and for virtual work although my ability to greet you at the door is somewhat restricted for the latter approach. 

Please do get in touch if you require any further information.

Supervision sessions are available on Monday through Thursday between the hours of 9:30 and 5:30 and Friday between 9:30 and 1:00. Sessions can be in-person or via Zoom.

Group supervision is also available for up to 4 participants. Please contact me to discuss this further if required.

My Supervision offering

I work broadly within a Person-Centred approach and am non-directive in terms of the content supervisees bring. I am comfortable in working with different disciplines and bring an experiential process to the work which enables effective working across different approaches.

I believe that structure is important within the supervision process to ensure all aspects are attended to. This structure is brought by the Cyclical model for supervision, a clear contracting process and the following values which underpin my supervisory work:

Clarity - we will agree clear boundaries for our work together

Mutuality - we will work in partnership with each other

Commitment - we will make ourselves available and prepare for supervision.

Openness - we will be open to discussion and transparency in our work together.

Adaptability - as our supervisory relationship deepens we will work together to review and adapt our approach.

I view supervision as a long-term relationship.

We will work together to build an effective way of being with each other which addresses the common power imbalance in the supervisory relationship.

My belief is that the supervisor's view holds no greater value than your own, it merely offers a different perspective. This is the value I bring to my work with clients and the same holds true for the supervisory process.

I offer online and in person supervision for individuals and groups.

Individual supervision can be for 60 or 90 minutes and is ideally on a monthly basis.

Group supervision can be for 2, 3 or 4 supervisees and is generally 30 minutes or 1 hour per supervisee attending. Group supervision can be on a monthly or bi-monthly basis. 

You are welcome to contact me to explore groupwork with a pre-formed group or to be placed on a waiting list for joining an existing group.

I also offer single-session supervision for those who wish to gain a different perspective on a specific issue.

I am qualified with a Diploma in Clinical Supervision from The Awareness Centre.

If you are interested in discussing supervision with me I offer a free 20 minute initial conversation.

In our initial supervisory session, the focus is on building the relationship and gaining an awareness of your current working practice including any specific issues you wish to explore.

More broadly, this enables us both to meet and discuss how we would work together to support you in your practice. 

I don't require supervisees to complete an assessment but will ask for information relating to your current practice, your client numbers and any preferences you have in how you work. This will be part of our first session.
