I aim to make counselling accessible, transparent, and easy to begin. Below you’ll find my session fees, introductory options, and a clear explanation of what your investment covers.
Free, no obligation 30-minute phone call
I offer an initial free, no obligation 30-minute phone call for you to find out more about me and my service and for us to see if we could work together.

This fee reflects my specialist experience as both a qualified counsellor and former midwife, offering a unique blend of therapeutic and maternity expertise.

Is Cost a Concern?

If we do decide that we could work together then counselling sessions are typically on a weekly basis, lasting 50 minutes.
