Practicalities
The practical side, plainly
How it works, what it costs, and how to begin. No small print surprises.
Starting
A first conversation
We begin with a free twenty-minute call. It's a chance for you to ask questions, say a little about what's bringing you, and get a feel for whether this is the right work and the right person. There's no obligation to continue.
Sessions
How we meet
Sessions last fifty minutes and we meet weekly. We can look at the rhythm again whenever your life changes.
The fee is £80 per session.
I see people in East London, starting in December 2026. Sessions are private, unhurried and just yours.
Contact me to join the waiting list for the December openings.
Confidentiality
What you bring stays between us
What you say in sessions is confidential, within the limits of the law, which I'll explain at our first session. My clinical work is supervised, in line with professional ethical standards: I discuss my work with an experienced supervisor, with identifying details removed, so that you get the most careful work I can offer.
Cancellation
If you need to change a session
The regularity of sessions is part of what makes this kind of work possible, so the time is held for you whether or not you come.
48 hours' notice or more. If you let me know at least 48 hours before the session, there is no charge. Where I can, I will offer another time that week.
Less than 48 hours' notice, or a session you don't attend. The full fee of £80 is payable.
Emergencies. If something sudden and unavoidable happens, such as illness or a family emergency, please still tell me as soon as you can. I will use my judgement and may not charge.
A pattern. If cancellations or missed sessions become frequent, I will raise it with you in the room first. It is often something worth understanding together, and we will agree what to do.
If I need to cancel. I will give you as much notice as I can and offer another time. You won't be charged.
Questions
A few things people ask
Is this religious?
No. Spiritual here means values, meaning and what matters most to you. No religion is required and no belief system is assumed. You're welcome to bring a faith, or none.
I'm not in crisis. Is this still for me?
Yes. This is exactly who it is for. You don't need to be falling apart to want depth. Being quietly stuck is reason enough.
How long does it take?
It's open-ended. Some people come for a few months, some for longer. We review together at regular points, so you are never simply carrying on by default.
Get in touch
You're welcome to write
A sentence or two is plenty. I'll reply personally, and we can arrange a first call from there.
