For body psychotherapy we will need to have an initial consultation session so that we both can decide if we feel we can work well together. This consultation normally lasts 1 hour, and is an opportunity for you to ask questions about my approach and to tell me some of your story so I understand what you need. Unlike most therapists, I do not charge for this. For other treatments (such as Pulsing) you can simply book a session, although at the first session I will need to take some basic medical details.

Bodymind Integration is normally a double (2 hour) session every fortnight. It takes the bodymind time to process a bodywork session, typically 10 days. My experience is that the double session is the most beneficial, and that it is far better to have a 2 hour session fortnightly than conventional weekly therapy session of 1 hour (which is typically 50 minutes). Session length and frequency is something we can discuss at the initial consultation.

Working hours: I have 3 session slots per day, Monday to Friday:

Morning: 10am start
Afternoon: 2pm start
Evening: 6.00-6.30pm start

I do not work weekends.

Initial consultations are free. Session fees are on a sliding scale of between £50 and £70 per hour according to your income.

Pulsing is typically a 1¼ hour session, price £75.
