I am a very short walk away from the new Mitcham Eastfields station, with regular services to London Victoria and Blackfriars (20 minutes), and Sutton (13 minutes).

Confidentiality & Ethics

I fully respect your privacy, and everything that you say or do during our sessions will be treated in the strictest confidence (subject to the requirements of law).

My commitment as a humanistic practitioner is to your welfare and your freedom as a unique individual. I am an associate member of the UK Association for Humanistic Psychology Practitioners (UKAHPP) working towards full accreditation. I am in regular supervision with a highly experienced body psychotherapist. I recommend you read the UKAHPP statement of beliefs , as this underlies all my work.

I follow the UKAHPP code of ethics.

Fees & Session Lengths

There is no charge for initial consultations. I try to work on the basis of ability to pay, so offer reduced fees for those on lower incomes and for long-term commitments. If you feel I am the right therapist for you, then I am sure we can agree a price.

Deep Bodywork

My standard fee is £45 for a single body therapy session of 60 minutes (£80 for a double 2 hour session).

The double session is strongly recommended if you wish to work psychotherapeutically. Frequency of sessions is very much an individual matter. It takes the bodymind time to process a bodywork session, typically between 5 and 10 days. My experience is that the double session is the most beneficial, and that it is far better to have a 2 hour session fortnightly than a 1 hour session weekly. Session length and frequency is something we can discuss at the initial consultation and can be adjusted as you discover what your 'processing rhythm' is.

Trauma therapy, Stress management and Counselling Plus

A one hour session is £45. Please note that this is a full hour, not the standard 50-minute session used by most counsellors and therapists.

Pulsing

A single one 1 hour session costs £45. An extended 90 minute session costs £60; this includes at least 1 hour hands-on work followed by a time for reflection and discussion.

Bioenergetic massage

A 75 minute session costs £50.

I offer a £5 discount for regular (at least once a month) Pulsing or massage sessions booked in advance.

What happens next?

We will need to have an initial consultation session so that we both can decide if we feel we can work well together. This is an opportunity for you to ask questions about my approach and to tell me some of your story so I understand what you need. Unlike most therapists, I do not charge for this.

Please feel free to phone or email me if you have any questions at all. I look forward to hearing from you.
