SERVICES & FEES
INDIVIDUAL PSYCHOLOGICAL THERAPY
I offer individual therapy to children, adolescents and adults struggling with mental health difficulties, overcoming life events or wishing to explore and develop a deeper understanding of themselves.
Seeking support for your child can be anxiety-provoking. Rest assured that I dedicate plenty of time to developing a rapport with your child and establishing a strong therapeutic relationship with them as part of the therapeutic process.
My aim is to provide a safe and secure environment for my clients to explore their difficulties, to develop a greater understanding and to develop coping techniques and strategies for positive change.
Psychological assessment (1.5hrs) £150
Individual psychological therapy (50minute session) £100
SUPERVISION
I offer supervision to qualified Psychologists and other professionals.
60 minute supervision £60
FAMILY SUPPORT
Difficult life events and circumstances can make family life tense, leading to difficulties communicating and damaged relationships. I have extensive experience working with families using systemic concepts and theory. Family-based interventions help members of a family to better understand one another, resolve conflict and change negative behaviours.
Family assessment (1.5hrs) £150
Family therapy (50minute session) £100
BUSINESS/EDUCATION
Mental health illness can greatly impact social and adaptive functioning and can therefore influence somebody’s ability to engage in employment, education or with other services.
I offer consultation, individual therapy and group therapy to organisations in order to improve the psychological well-being of the workforce. I also offer educational and engaging mental health training and workshops tailored to your organisations needs
