Fees

Clear fees, paid one session at a time

The fee depends on the kind of session, not on how long you have been coming. Everyone starts with a free 15-minute call.

Individual therapy

£70

per 50-minute session

Weekly sessions with one therapist, in person, online or walking. The most common way to start.

Ask about individual therapy

Common questions

How many sessions will I need?

Most people come for 8 to 20 sessions. We review together every six weeks, and you can stop at any point.

Can I come fortnightly?

Yes, once we have met a few times. Weekly is usually better at the start, while things are most raw.

What if I miss a session?

Cancel 48 hours ahead and there is no charge. Later than that, the full fee applies, because the hour was held for you.

Couples therapy

£95

per 75-minute session

For two people who want to understand what keeps going wrong between them, whether you plan to stay together or not.

Common questions

Does my partner have to come to the first session?

Ideally, yes. If they are unsure, one of you can take the free call first and ask the questions for both.

Will you take sides?

No. The relationship is the client. If either of you feels it tipping, say so in the room and we will look at it.

Sliding-scale place

from £30

from, per session, based on income

Eight places kept open at £30 to £55 for students, carers and anyone on a low or uncertain income.

Common questions

Do I need to prove my income?

No. We ask you to choose the fee you can honestly manage and trust you to tell us if it changes.

Is there a waiting list?

Sometimes, for two to four weeks. We will tell you on the free call and offer a standard place if you would rather not wait.

Is it the same therapy?

Exactly the same sessions, rooms and therapists. Nobody else knows which fee you pay.

How the sliding scale works

We keep 8 places open for people on lower or uncertain incomes. Choose the band that fits; nobody asks for payslips.

If your income changes while you are coming, tell your therapist and we will move you to the right band, up or down, from the next session.

Sliding-scale fees by household income
Household income	Per session
Household income under £18,000	£30
£18,000 to £26,000	£40
£26,000 to £34,000	£55
