MAKING SUPPORT MORE ACCESSIBLE

Everything clear from the start.
A few useful things to know before you arrange an appointment.
In person or online
Appointments in Swindon and online across the UK are offered at the same standard rate. Online sessions require a private space and reliable internet connection.
Payments
Bank transfer, card and cash are listed payment options. The published terms state that individual sessions are paid one week in advance and packages are confirmed on receipt of payment.
Changing an appointment
Please ask for the current cancellation, rescheduling and package-refund terms before paying. Any applicable conditions should be explained clearly at the initial consultation.
Insurance & workplace support
Some workplace schemes or private insurers may contribute towards eligible treatment. Please check directly with your provider; receipts and relevant registration details can be requested.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Good questions deserve clear answers.
If there's anything else you'd like to know, you're welcome to ask.
Is the initial consultation really free?
Yes. The initial consultation is free and carries no obligation to book further sessions. It's a chance to discuss your concerns, ask questions and consider whether the approach is right for you.
How much is one therapy session?
A standard individual session costs £75 and usually lasts 50–60 minutes. The same standard rate applies in person in Swindon and online across the UK.
Can I pay as I go?
Yes. You can book individual sessions without purchasing a package. A six-session package costs £420, eight sessions cost £560 and twelve sessions cost £780 if you prefer to plan ahead.
How many sessions will I need?
There is no fixed number that suits everyone. Your circumstances, goals and the suitability of the approach all matter. We'll discuss options together rather than promise a particular outcome or number of sessions.
Are reduced fees available?
A £65 individual-session rate is listed for military personnel and veterans, blue light and NHS staff, teachers and school staff, and under-16s. Students and people on a low income can enquire about limited concessionary availability.
Do online sessions cost less?
No. Online sessions are priced the same as in-person sessions. They can be a convenient option if you live elsewhere in the UK.
When do I pay?
The published payment terms specify one week in advance for individual sessions, and full payment to confirm block bookings. Please ask about the latest terms if you have any questions before paying.
What if I need a different type of treatment?
We'll discuss suitability honestly. Some conditions are best supported by specialist services or specific evidence-based treatments, and I can explain when another provider or an NHS assessment may be appropriate.
Can I get a receipt for my insurer or employer?
Yes, you can request a receipt. Whether treatment is covered depends on the terms of your particular insurer or workplace scheme, so check with them before booking.
THE FIRST CONVERSATION IS FREE
You don't have to decide everything today.
Let's talk about what you'd like to change, the support that might help and what it would cost. No pressure, no obligation — just a good place to begin.
