July 2026
I offer therapy and supervision appointments on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, either in the therapy room, on Dartmoor, or online.
I’m only available for urgent short notice appointments for existing or previous clients during August.
I may have space for one or two more face-to-face regular sessions, from October onwards, though my online capacity is full.
Usually, we start with an email exchange or a brief chat on the phone – a chance for you to find out a little more, ask questions, and for us to arrange to meet.
We then arrange a free initial session.
– This meeting, of up to an hour, gives you an opportunity to have an experience of the work, to dip your toe in the water, and for us both to get a sense of whether it feels right to try out an initial short series of sessions.
Sessions are usually weekly, lasting one hour, here in at my practice in Bovey Tracey, South Devon.
We can also negotiate working in different environments if appropriate, for example; working outdoors in the garden, or on Dartmoor.
The cost is £55/hour session.
For some people this will seem very good value, and for some people this will not be affordable. If you are interested in working with me, but can’t afford my rates – get in touch and we’ll see what reduction is possible.
Likewise, if you are interested in working with me, and would like to pay a rate higher than £55/hour, in order to facilitate lower rates for clients who need them, let me know.
