How I Work

I take my lead from what you, the client or supervisee, wish to explore and go at the pace you wish to go.

I have a quiet and gentle conversational style that can nonetheless be direct and challenging. My own training is broadly creative and meditative. I have experience in movement and massage, mindfulness, phobia treatment, voice-work, drama and literature. I have worked with families, couples, people who are especially fragile or deeply distressed, and people who think their troubles are almost too small to bother with.

I am committed to:

• Continually opening my mind to whatever you bring with every meeting we have. Holding a safe, boundaried, space within which we mutually recognise the exploration of your issues.
• Working alongside and in conversation with you so that your empowerment and self-worth are encouraged.

Don’t expect me to be a guru, an expert or an adviser and don't expect me to be perfect. Instead, see me as someone who may have worked through or, at least has an understanding of, some of the issues that are troubling you and who might be a useful companion for part of your journey.

I would like you to use an exploratory meeting to raise all the questions you may have.

Fees

I charge a nominal £10 for an initial hour’s exploratory meeting who ever you are. Thereafter my fee is scaled between £30 and £80 per hour, including room hire charges, respectful of what is affordable and whether the work is with couples or supervision. This scale enables me to use the larger fees to support students and those who are less well off. Thus students' fees start around £30 to £35. I do not go below that but there is Arkordia, a charity operating from the same address, to whom I refer people who cannot afford my fees.

Cancellations made clearly more than 24 weekday hours before the appointment do not incur a charge. For those made less than 24 weekday hours I charge £10.00 unless there is an emergency. Where people simply do not inform me at all I charge the full fee.
