Whether you’re considering therapy or clinical supervision, it helps to know the practicalities before you make contact. You’ll find my current fees, appointment information and answers to common questions below.
Therapy sessions are 60 minutes. Clinical supervision is available in 60-minute or 90-minute sessions, depending on your professional body requirements.
Sessions may include counselling, hypnotherapy or an integrated combination depending on what brings you to therapy and what we agree will be useful.
Supervision is available in Plymouth and online, in 60-minute or 90-minute sessions depending on your professional body requirements. I work particularly with practitioners who integrate counselling and hypnotherapy.
A few of the things people most often want to know before getting in touch.
Daytime appointments are available between 10.00am and 4.00pm, with the final appointment starting at 3.00pm. I do not currently offer evening or weekend sessions.
Therapy and supervision are available in person in Plymouth. Online therapy is available across the UK, and online supervision offers additional flexibility for practitioners further afield.
Please give at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or rearrange. Sessions cancelled with less notice, and missed appointments, may be charged at the full fee.
If your question is more specific to a particular therapy, you may also find the relevant service page helpful. These answers cover the practical points that apply more generally.
I’m not currently accepting new therapy clients, so the best way to register your interest is to join my priority list. I’ll contact you when I can offer a suitable new-client appointment. Joining the list does not commit you to booking.

Payment is required in advance to secure your appointment. I’ll provide the payment details when a session is arranged.
Payment can be made securely by card where offered, or by bank transfer. I’ll confirm the appropriate payment method when your appointment is arranged.
Therapy sessions are 60 minutes. Supervision sessions may be 60 or 90 minutes, depending on the requirements of your professional body. There is no standard number of therapy sessions because people arrive with different needs, histories and goals.
In therapy, we will agree what you would like the work to change and review whether sessions continue to be useful. Supervision is different: it may be a long-term professional relationship that continues throughout your career, depending on your needs and professional requirements.
Please give at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or rearrange an appointment. Sessions cancelled with less than 24 hours’ notice, and missed appointments, may be charged at the full session fee.
No. My therapy practice is for adults aged 18 and over.

You will need a stable internet connection and a device with a camera and microphone. A computer or tablet is usually more comfortable than a phone for a full session, although a phone can work if necessary.

Yes. Counselling and hypnotherapy can both be offered online, either separately or integrated within the same piece of work where appropriate. We will agree the purpose of the work together and adapt it to your circumstances.
