Fees
I am based and work in West Sussex.
I offer a free initial 30min telephone consultation to help us decide whether working together feels right.
My standard fees for individual clients are; Counselling is £45 per 50 minute session, Hypnotherapy is £75 per session, Hypnotherapy for smoking cessation and weight loss sessions are slightly longer and are charged at £95.
A limited number of reduced-fee appointments are available for Students or clients who may be experiencing financial difficulty. Fees can be discussed at the initial enquiry so we can agree on a rate that feels manageable and fair..
Frequently Asked Questions
Below are answers to some of the most common questions I’m asked about counselling and hypnotherapy. If your question isn’t covered here, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. I’d be happy to arrange a free call to explore any concerns or queries you may have.
What can I expect during my first counselling or hypnotherapy session?
The first session is a gentle introduction. It’s a chance for us to meet, for you to share what’s brought you here, and for me to explain how the process works. Whether you’re seeking counselling, hypnotherapy, or a combination of both, we’ll talk through your hopes and concerns, and I’ll explain things like confidentiality and what to expect from future sessions. There’s no pressure to share everything right away—this is about creating a safe, supportive space at your pace.
How long does a session last, and how many will I need?
Each session lasts 50 minutes, longer if it is for smoking cessation or weight loss. The number of sessions varies depending on your goals and personal circumstances. Some people feel lighter after just a few sessions; others choose to engage in longer-term support. We’ll work together to create a plan that feels right for you, and we’ll review your progress as we go.
Is counselling and hypnotherapy confidential?
Absolutely. Confidentiality is a cornerstone of my work. What you share in session stays between us, with only a few legal exceptions, such as, if there’s a risk of serious harm to yourself or others, or if I’m legally bound to disclose information. My aim is to provide a secure and non-judgemental space where you feel free to speak openly.
Where do sessions take place?
I primarily offer counselling in your own home.
Where appropriate, I can also work with clients in nursing homes and hospitals.
Alternatively I offer Walk & Talk therapy outdoors.
I don't offer online counselling.
Do I need to have a diagnosis?
No, you don't need a diagnosis to come to counselling.
You don't even need to know exactly what is wrong.
If you know that you're struggling and would like support, that's enough.
Can I have counselling if I am elderly or unable to leave home?
Yes. This is one of the reasons I offer home visits.
I believe that being unable to travel to a therapy room shouldn't be a barrier to accessing therapeutic support.
Can my dog come to Walk & Talk therapy?
Absolutely, provided they are comfortable walking alongside us.
What if I'm not sure whether counselling is right for me?
I offer a free 30-minute consultation so you can ask questions, tell me a little about what's happening and we can decide together whether working with me feels right.
There is no pressure to book.
