Sessions & fees

Where we meet

Online

A video call. Useful if you’re not near Skipton, don’t want to travel, or prefer your own space. You need somewhere private and a decent connection.

In Skipton

A private room in town. I’ll tell you where before anything is booked.

Who I see

People aged 16 and over. I don’t see children under 16 — that needs different training. If you’re a parent asking about a younger child, you can still write to me.

Fees

50 minutes — £50

Usually weekly. We can talk about a different rhythm if you need to.

Free 15-minute call

Your questions, a bit about what’s going on, and whether it feels okay to continue. It isn’t a session. You’re not signing up for anything.

If £50 would make starting hard, say so when you write. We can talk about what’s possible.

What sessions are like

There’s more on What it’s like to work with me. Short version: we don’t rush, and you don’t need to have it all figured out.

I’ve worked in SEMH education and in mental health and addiction rehab. That taught me to stay practical, and not look away when life is messy.

What you say stays between us. I’ll explain the rare exceptions — serious risk of harm — before we start. See the privacy notice for how I look after messages.

How we start

  1. Write to me — a few lines is fine.
  2. I’ll aim to reply within one working day with a time for a free call.
  3. We talk for about fifteen minutes. You can leave it there if you want.

Not sure where to start?

Just write. We can work out the next step from there.
