Fees for Psychotherapy

Affordable Psychotherapy in London and Online

I believe everyone should have access to quality, affordable psychotherapy in London or wherever they live. I aim to work with people from different backgrounds and circumstances and offer them the same quality of work, while being fair to them and to myself.

Why Affordable Psychotherapy Matters

Mental health care shouldn’t be a luxury, but cost can often prevent people from accessing the support they need. That’s why I don’t want to reproduce those inequalities in my practice, and I try to make therapy accessible for people in different financial circumstances, in London and online. I won’t change that wider reality, but I can decide how I respond to it.

Please don’t assume you can’t do therapy with me because of my fees. Let’s talk about your circumstances and find a figure that feels fair to both of us. For me, affordability is not about choosing between you and me, but finding something that considers us both. Please reach out so we can talk about what might work for you.

Online and In-Person Psychotherapy in London

Alongside in-person therapy in London, I also offer online sessions for people who prefer to meet from home or wherever they are. They are simply different ways of working together, and you can choose what works best for you.

Questions People Often Ask Me

Do you accept insurance or reimbursement?

I don’t work directly with insurers, but I can provide invoices if your plan covers psychotherapy or offers reimbursement for it. Every provider has different rules, so it’s always best to check directly with them before starting.

What is your cancellation policy?

I require 48 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. Sessions cancelled with less notice will be charged.

Why do therapists charge what they do?

My fee reflects the time we spend together, but also my experience and the many years of study and learning behind my work. Like any independent practice, there is also work and expense behind each session that isn’t always visible.

When do I pay for sessions?

I usually ask for payment a day in advance by bank transfer. If you prefer to pay in cash, you can do so at the end of the session. Some people choose to pay for several sessions at the start of the month, and that works well too.

Can I book a single session before committing to ongoing therapy?

Yes. The first session is an opportunity for us to meet, discuss what brings you here, and explore how it feels to work together. There’s no obligation to continue afterwards; the initial meeting can help you decide whether you would like to continue.
