CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY ASSESSMENT
Fees - £100 for an 50 minute session
We all need time to feel heard and understood. The first step in the therapy journey is to gather information about what brings you to therapy and what you are struggling with. Following this we develop a shared understanding of what led to the development of your difficulties and work together on a plan for treatment.
INDIVIDUAL PSYCHOLOGY SESSIONS
Fees - £100 per 50 minute session
We are all different. There is no single approach that helps us all, so I use a range of psychological methods to provide a personalised, bespoke treatment plan for you. We work together every step of the way and implement various methods to help you learn new ways to approach life’s most complex matters. Book an appointment today and see how you can live the life you want to live.
LONG COVID PSYCHOLOGICAL SUPPORT
Fees - £100 for a 50 minute therapy session
More than 2 million people in the UK have had long covid for more than 12 weeks. It is a debilitating condition resulting in persistent fatigue, cognitive symptoms, anxiety and low mood. These issues can be debilitating but there are treatments that work. Perhaps you’ve been traumatised from being in ITU or are worried about re-entry as and when restrictions lift. In my NHS practice I have worked successfully with people with long covid and trauma to gain control over their lives and symptoms. Contact me today to help your recovery from long covid.
PSYCHOLOGICAL REHABILITATION FOR FUNCTIONAL NEUROLOGICAL DISORDER
£150 per 50 minute session including report
£250 per 90 minute post diagnostic consultation, including report
Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) is a common, yet misunderstood condition. It is reversible but without appropriate and timely treatment, it can be debilitating.
The mind and the body are intricately connected and recovery from FND needs to be as individualised as the symptoms themselves. I use a variety of psychology methods to help you feel heard and validated.
I bring not only my clinical expertise but also a lived experience perspective as someone who has recovered from FND.
Please note that I only provide psychological rehabilitation for people with a diagnosis of FND.
WALK AND TALK
Healing in Nature - £100 per 50 minute session
For some people, they may struggle in a traditional session, sitting across from someone in a small room, or via a screen. I can offer a walk and talk session, where we meet in a mutually convenient place and we can use our time together to be in the fresh air and connect with what you need to recover psychologically.
There is also evidence that moving and particularly walking can help with processing difficult emotions and experiences.
Please get in touch to discuss why you think a walk and talk session might benefit you.
EQUINE FACILITATED THERAPY HELD JOINTLY WITH THE THERAPEUTIC TUTORS
£225 per 75 minute session
I complete my equine assisted therapy work alongside my colleague, Serena Hemmings who is a CBT Hypnotherapist, former headteacher, expert in horsemanship and founder of The Therapeutic Tutors. We trained together at Athena Herd on the Level 4 Diploma.
We work in a diamond model, consistent with Equisoma with two human and one equine co-facilitator which allows for greater safety and depth of awareness of equine feedback and supporting the person having the session to regulate and process their experience.
Sessions are held at in Tadworth, Surrey.

DO YOU OFFER SLIDING SCALE RATES?
My fees are £100 per 50 minute session. This reflects my level of training and expertise. However, I am aware that not everyone who seeks therapy can afford it. Therefore I can offer a limited number of appointments for people living at a lower income level. Please contact me to find out more.

Each individual session lasts 50 minutes.

I am trained in a variety of psychological models to allow a more personalised approach to suit you. I use techniques from CBT, ACT, affect phobia, attachment theory and family therapy and can adapt my techniques to suit any neurodivergent needs.
