My therapy fees and sliding scale model

My approach to fees is built on principles of fairness, accessibility
and sustainability. I offer a tiered structure that invites you to choose
the rate that best reflects your financial circumstances.

The ethical fees model below is built on the following pillars:

  • Economic justice – acknowledging systemic inequality and diverse financial realities

  • Flexibility – allowing my clients to access therapy at a rate they can genuinely manage

  • Mutual support – enabling those who can pay more to help subsidise access for others

  • Sustainability – ensuring I can continue offering therapy to as many people as possible while earning a modest living.

The figures below are examples – please let me know if you’re unsure where you might fall and want to discuss further.

Not sure where you fit? That’s OK – we can talk it through. My aim is to find a fee that feels fair and manageable for you, while keeping the work sustainable for me.

Solidarity: £100 or more

By choosing this rate, you help make therapy more accessible for others by directly supporting low-cost places. You also help sustain my work as an independent practitioner. This rate may be right for you if:

  • You live comfortably without financial stress

  • You have savings, investments or other financial security

  • You can access emergency funds if needed

  • Your company or insurance covers part/all of your therapy

  • You want to help create access for others.

Sustainability: £70

This is my standard fee (note that it’s £80 in London due to higher costs of working in the city). It reflects the cost of running my practice, and enables me to make a modest, sustainable living. This rate may be right for you if:

  • You can cover your basic living expenses (e.g. rent or mortgage)

  • You can afford occasional new purchases, travel or non-essentials.

Supported: £45

This rate makes therapy more accessible if you’re on a limited income or managing without much financial flexibility. This rate may be right for you if:

  • You don’t have spare income for holidays or luxuries

  • You earn less or have inconsistent income

  • You work in a caring role or support others unpaid.

Equity: £20

A limited number of low-cost spaces are available for clients in financial hardship or from marginalised backgrounds. This rate may be right for you if:

  • You’re experiencing financial insecurity or instability

  • You live paycheque to paycheque and struggle to afford essentials

  • You wouldn’t be able to access therapy without this rate.
