Rates and Sliding Scale
I operate a sliding scale system that is based on trust. This means I will not ask for proof of eligibility and there's no need to justify which rate you can afford. I do ask, however, that if your circumstances change and you are able to, you adjust your fee in line with the sliding scale.
Below you can see some things to consider to help you decide which rate is most suitable. Wherever you meet the most criteria is a good guideline for the appropriate fee. If you have any questions about this, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

*Please note that I am only able to see a limited number of clients at this lower cost rate. If there is a waiting list and you would like to find someone who may be able to see you sooner, I can signpost you to other therapists / organisations that offer low cost rates.
Fortnightly sessions are sometimes available and charged at £80, in line with my lower cost weekly rate. My FAQs outline some benefits and challenges with fortnightly sessions.
