Pricing & Structure
Sessions are £160 for 90 minutes, in your own home. We meet weekly, for up to 24 sessions, with regular reviews woven into our ongoing conversation. The final session is a time to reflect upon and celebrate what's emerged and what's been let go of during our time together. Everything begins with a free 20-minute consultation call, with no obligation on either side.

If you’d like to return after finishing, I ask for a gap of six months first. That isn’t me closing the door. It’s confidence in you, and time for you to discover what you’re capable of on your own.
Timing & Availability
Most sessions take place within your own home on weekdays during the day. I also offer some weekday evening and Saturday daytime sessions for those who need them.
Where I Travel
I come to you, across Brighton, Hove and into East and West Sussex. I work in Hove, Portslade, Shoreham, Southwick and Worthing to the west, and Brighton and Lewes to the east, generally within about 30 minutes' drive, with no travel charge. If you're near the edge of that area or a little beyond it, get in touch and I'll confirm before we book. Further afield may be possible with a small travel charge agreed beforehand.
Preparing Your Space
Because we work in your home, it helps to set up the space so you can speak freely, with phones away and distractions kept to a minimum. If you live with others, it’s worth arranging for them to be out, or settled and out of earshot, for the full 90 minutes, so the space feels protected rather than overheard. The one exception is babies up to a year old, who are always welcome to stay with you. If your home isn’t a suitable space for sessions, clinic space can sometimes be arranged by negotiation.
Credentials & Checks
I have a clear basic DBS check and full professional indemnity and public liability insurance. I also hold a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology. The HCPC is the regulator for Clinical Psychologists, and I'm not on its register because I'm not working as one.
Payment & Cancellation
Your first session is paid on its own, and can be moved or cancelled with at least 48 hours' notice. After that, sessions are paid monthly in advance, as a block covering the sessions in that month. Because that time is held for you, a paid session isn't refunded or carried over if you need to cancel or miss it, whatever the reason. If you're planning time away, a month's notice lets us adjust the next block. If I ever need to cancel, we'll rearrange the session, and anything you've already paid is honoured.
Confidentiality & Records
What you share stays between us. I keep only minimal, factual records: dates, attendance, and any decisions relating to safety. I don't write detailed notes about what we talk about. Records are stored securely, and I'm registered with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO). The only times I would break confidentiality are if I believed there was a serious risk to your safety or someone else's, or if I were required to by law. Wherever possible, I'd talk it through with you first. I may bring aspects of our work to my own supervision, without anything that identifies you.
A short, gentle exercise offered to support your discernment:
Ready to Begin?
If you've read this far, you already know roughly what to expect. The next step is simple: a free 20-minute call, no obligation on either side, just a chance to see if this feels right for both of us.
