Fees & insurance

Professional fees

Clear session fees for private psychological therapy — so you can see the value for money of focused EMDR and psychotherapy. Payment is by bank transfer before the appointment; full bank details are shared when you book.

Self-funded

Session fees

  • Regular session 60 minutes £100
  • EMDR / extended 90 minutes £150

Fees are kept clear and proportionate to the length and focus of the session — including extended EMDR appointments when a longer window supports more effective trauma processing.

Payment is requested in full by bank transfer before the appointment date. Once payment is received, your appointment is confirmed. Please use your full name as the payment reference.

Cancellation: less than 48 hours’ notice or non-attendance results in a 50% refund only.

Covered care

Insurance

I am recognised with the insurers below, which can support value for money when your policy covers psychological therapy. Cover still depends on your policy, pre-authorisation, and the insurer’s terms — please check your entitlement and share any authorisation details when you enquire.

  • AXA Health
  • Aviva
  • Vitality

Questions about fees

Transparent fees, focused session lengths, and insurer recognition are there so the practical side feels straightforward. If you are unsure whether therapy is the right next step, an initial enquiry by email is enough — there is no obligation to proceed.
