Individual psychotherapy, couple psychotherapy, ILF neurofeedback and individual supervision usually take place in 50-minute appointments.

Where clinically appropriate, 80-minute appointments may be discussed, particularly where more space is needed for the work. Longer appointments are charged proportionally at the applicable 50-minute rate.

Session frequency and format are considered together according to what is likely to be most helpful and sustainable.

Therapy and clinical supervision can be offered in English or Italian.

If working in Italian would feel more natural or supportive, you are welcome to raise this during the initial consultation.

“Couple” means any relationship between two people.

Session frequency and format are discussed according to what offers enough space, continuity and support for the work.

The way we work together is agreed collaboratively rather than assumed in advance.

Neurofeedback is available in person only, as it requires specialist equipment and live monitoring so that the training can be adjusted in response to how you are experiencing it.

It is usually offered within an ongoing psychotherapeutic process or, where clinically appropriate, alongside work with another relevant clinician. This is because changes in arousal, sleep, emotion or bodily regulation are best understood within a wider clinical formulation and may need space for therapeutic integration.

Individual clinical supervision usually takes place in 50-minute appointments.

During regular hours, the fee is £108 for 50 minutes. Where an out-of-hours supervision appointment is exceptionally agreed, the fee is £120 for 50 minutes.

Where a longer supervision appointment would be useful, this may be discussed and agreed in advance and is charged proportionally at the applicable 50-minute rate.

Group supervision is arranged separately according to the size, frequency and structure of the group.

For a regular group of two to four supervisees meeting for 100 minutes, each supervisee is usually charged the applicable 50-minute individual supervision rate.

I do not currently offer group psychotherapy as a regular standing service, but I may occasionally develop or contribute to groups where there is a clear clinical purpose and appropriate structure.

Group psychotherapy would normally be offered online. Where group work is commissioned by an organisation, an appropriate external venue may instead be agreed as part of the arrangements. My therapy room in Shinfield is not suitable for group psychotherapy.

Fees and arrangements are agreed separately and depend on factors such as the purpose of the group, session length, frequency, number of participants, format and, where relevant, venue or organisational requirements.

If you are interested in group work, you are welcome to ask whether anything appropriate is currently available or being considered.

I am an approved provider with some health insurers. However, I do not routinely accept insurance-funded work because the administrative requirements and insurer fee levels do not always fit the way I practise.

You have the right to request the therapist of your choice. However, if you wish to use private health insurance, your insurer will decide whether that practitioner and their fee are covered under your particular policy. Insurers may limit the amount they will pay per session, require you to use an approved or recognised provider, or place other conditions on funding.

If my usual fee is higher than your insurer's sessional allowance, your insurer may decline to fund the arrangement or may not permit you to use the insurance payment towards my fee and personally pay the difference. Please check this directly with your insurer before arranging insurance-funded therapy.

You can also choose to work with me on a self-funded basis independently of your insurance arrangements.

Where I do agree to work with an insurer, the arrangements need to be clarified in advance, including the authorised fee, number of sessions, invoicing or reimbursement process, and any reporting requirements.

Unless direct billing has been agreed in advance, clients are responsible for paying my fee directly and arranging any reimbursement from their insurer.

I welcome self-referrals and professional referrals, including referrals from GPs, psychiatrists, health insurers, case management organisations, counsellors and psychotherapists, therapeutic communities, and corporate or organisational sources.

Requests made during therapy or after therapy has ended for substantial letters, reports, statements, record reviews, or involvement with solicitors, insurers, courts or other third parties are considered individually and may not always be possible.

Professional time involved in substantial external requests is charged at £120 per 50 minutes, calculated proportionally where appropriate.

This may include considering and clarifying the request, seeking necessary professional or indemnity guidance, reviewing current or historical records, correspondence, preparing documents, responding to subsequent questions, and any preparation for or attendance at legal proceedings.

Where information is intended for legal proceedings, any account I provide must be balanced, accurate, professionally impartial and supported by the available records. It cannot be prepared as advocacy or solely to support one party's position. A fair account may need to include relevant personal or clinical history, including information that does not support the position of the person requesting it or that another party may seek to examine.

Providing a letter, report or statement may also lead to requests for further clarification or attendance as a witness.

The purpose and scope of the request, consent, fees and responsibility for payment must be agreed in writing before any substantive work begins.

Fees for organisations engaging me as a consultant psychotherapist, clinical supervisor or trauma specialist are available on request.

Please get in touch if you would like to discuss the work or request a fee proposal.

A brief professional profile is available for organisations, clinics and consultant-led services considering referral, supervision or consultancy.
