Psychotherapy Fees
I believe you should know what your care will cost before you decide whether it's right for you. My psychotherapy fees in Stockport are clear and transparent, and I'll always explain what to expect from your appointments and why I may recommend them.
Your investment in yourself...
Exploratory Call: Free
Choosing a therapist is a personal decision. An exploratory call gives us a chance to briefly meet, talk about what has brought you to therapy and for you to ask any questions you may have.
It's also an opportunity for us to consider whether I might be the right person to support you and whether my approach feels like a good fit for what you're looking for.
There is no obligation to book therapy afterwards.
Up to 15 minutes
Trainee Psychotherapy: £60
I'm currently completing my psychotherapy training and am offering sessions at a reduced trainee rate while I complete my supervised client hours.
Sessions provide a confidential space to explore whatever has brought you to therapy, at a pace that feels appropriate for you.
Our work may involve exploring your thoughts, feelings, relationships and patterns of behaviour, while also considering your physical experience and nervous system where this feels relevant.
I work collaboratively rather than following a fixed formula. We'll develop an understanding of what you're hoping to get from therapy and allow the work to evolve from there.
My psychotherapy training is grounded in Transactional Analysis, alongside my wider interest in the relationship between the mind, body and nervous system.
My background in chiropractic and health coaching also informs the way I work, bringing an understanding of physical health, movement, behaviour and lifestyle into the wider picture where appropriate.
60 minutes
Psychotherapy: £100
Once I have completed my current supervised training requirements, my standard psychotherapy fee will be £100 for an appointment of 60 minutes.
Psychotherapy with me is not a one-size-fits-all process. I draw on my psychotherapy training alongside my experience as a chiropractor and health and nutrition coach to consider the person as a whole.
Our work may explore thoughts, feelings, relationships, patterns and past experiences, while also making space for the body and nervous system where appropriate.
I bring together therapeutic understanding, curiosity, education and practical perspectives, while keeping your individual needs, goals and autonomy at the centre of the work.
The aim isn't simply to give you answers. It's to help you develop a deeper understanding of yourself and your experiences, so that you can make informed choices about what you want to do with that understanding.

Booking your appointments
If you would like to book an exploratory call, please email or send me a message. Psychotherapy appointments are arranged with me following your exploratory call, so that we can find a regular appointment time that works for both of us.
All psychotherapy and chiropractic appointments are by appointment only. I don't offer walk-in appointments.
Your care is your choice
Psychotherapy is a collaborative process, and you remain in charge of your own care.
I don't believe you should feel pressured into committing to a particular number of appointments. At the same time, therapy is a process that can take time. There are rarely quick fixes, and meaningful change often develops gradually as you begin to understand yourself, explore patterns and develop new ways of responding.
Your needs, circumstances and goals may change as therapy progresses, so we'll regularly review how things are going and whether continuing therapy feels right for you.
I'll share my thoughts and recommendations with you, explain why I think something may be helpful, and make space for your perspective. Together, we can decide what feels appropriate for you and what you want from the work.
You are always free to ask questions, change direction or decide that therapy is no longer right for you.
Starting with six sessions
I usually recommend starting with six sessions so that we have enough time to get to know each other, establish a therapeutic relationship and begin exploring what has brought you to therapy.
Six sessions isn't a commitment to ongoing therapy. It's an opportunity to give the work enough time to develop before we pause and reflect on how things are going and whether continuing feels right for you.
We'll review the work together and consider what you'd like to do next. This might mean continuing with therapy, changing the focus of our work, or deciding that you've got what you need for now.
Care Packages
If, following your initial 6 sessions, we decide to continue on with therapy, I also offer a discounted care package.
10 appointments + 2 appointments free — £600
This represents a saving of £120 (20%) compared with booking 12 individual appointments at £60 each.
Care packages would only be recommended where they are appropriate for your individual needs.Your care will always be reviewed as we go, and packages are entirely optional.
This represents a saving of £120 (20%) compared with booking 12 individual appointments at the current trainee rate of £60 each.
Payment
Exploratory calls are currently booked in advance, so please allow sufficient time when making your appointment.
Should we decide to book an initial psychotherapy appointment, payment is required at the time of booking and your appointment is not secured until payment has been received. Once you have booked, I will send you an email with my bank details so that payment can be made by bank transfer.
Payment can also be made by bank transfer or cash where applicable.
I ask that patients provide at least 48 hours' notice if they need to cancel or reschedule an appointment. Cancellations or changes made with less than 48 hours' notice may forfeit that payment. Please see my Cancellation Policy for full details.
