*My psychotherapy programme is all inclusive: the monthly programme fee includes one monthly parent sessions, termly review appointments, 30 mins per month of non-routine, additional clinical admin (written reports, clinical letters for EHCP/ school adjustments), professional liaison (meetings with your child's school, CAMHS or their medical team etc.). I do not offer psychotherapy as a pay-as-you-go service. Please see further details of what is included in the fee below.
**Examples include liaison, parent counselling appointments and report writing; existing service inclusions still apply. Please note this is just for illustrative purposes and liaison is included in the psychotherapy programme fee already, so if you are accepted for the psychotherapy programme, there are no additional fees.

FAQs
Families usually begin with either a Parent Consultation or a Psychotherapy Assessment, depending on what is needed. If you are unsure what kind of support your child needs, a Parent Consultation is usually the best first step. If psychotherapy is already being considered, a Psychotherapy Assessment may be more appropriate.
A Parent Consultation is a one-off appointment for parents who want clear clinical guidance before committing their child to assessment or treatment. It may be helpful if you feel unsure what is happening, overwhelmed by decisions, or unsupported by school, healthcare or other professionals. You leave with clinically informed guidance, recommendations and next steps.
Not at all. A parent consultation is dedicated time with a qualified mental health professional to discuss any concerns you may have about your child. This can be a one-off appointment for advisory purposes. There is no obligation for your child to begin treatment. I do not have to meet your child to offer this appointment.
A Psychotherapy Assessment comprises three 50-minute appointments. Parent(s) take part in the first appointment; any parent-only time is included within its 50 minutes. It allows your child to experience psychotherapy while I begin developing a psychotherapeutic, developmental and biopsychosocial understanding of their difficulties and whether ongoing work is likely to help. A 20-minute parent feedback call after assessment, an initial formulation and recommendations are included; a report summary is available on request. Extended reports and longer feedback can be agreed separately and charged according to the time involved. The assessment can contribute to an EHCP or diagnostic process, but it is not a stand-alone autism, ADHD, psychiatric or educational-psychology diagnosis. Court and medico-legal work are outside this service. Assessment does not commit your family to ongoing treatment.
An ongoing weekly programme place is available when assessment is booked. The assessment helps us decide whether psychotherapy with me is the right support for your child; you are not obliged to continue. The recommendation may instead be parent guidance, school or healthcare liaison, onward referral, further assessment, practical changes at home or school, or monitoring without beginning treatment. The assessment also helps us consider whether I am the right fit for your child’s needs.
Yes. A Parent Consultation does not reserve a weekly place. When an assessment is booked, a weekly programme place is available; the assessment may still show that a different kind of support would better meet your child’s needs. This is part of working ethically and carefully as an ACP-registered Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist. My responsibility is to work within the scope of my competence, and to think honestly about what kind of support your child needs. Although my training and experience allow me to work with high levels of complexity, some situations require a more multi-disciplinary approach. After meeting you and your child, I may recommend a different first step, such as psychiatric consultation, autism assessment, medical review, school liaison, parent guidance, or another form of specialist support. This does not mean leaving your family without direction. If I do not think psychotherapy with me is the right next step, I will explain my reasoning clearly and help you think about appropriate alternatives. Where helpful, I can signpost or refer to trusted colleagues, including psychiatrists and clinicians within my wider professional network, such as The Soke. Risk does not automatically rule out psychotherapy. Where needs overlap, joint work with medical, school or mental health colleagues may be helpful, depending on the circumstances. We consider suitability and the support needed together. This practice does not provide emergency or crisis care.
The monthly treatment fee includes a reserved weekly 50-minute psychotherapy place during published treatment weeks, one 60-minute parent appointment in each active month, and up to 30 minutes of relevant professional liaison or additional clinical administration per active month. Three of the eleven parent appointments are formal reviews before Christmas, Easter and summer; they replace those months’ ordinary appointments and carry no additional charge. Routine administration, such as invoicing, scheduling and sending appointment links, is included separately from the clinical allowance.
Yes, where appropriate. Some appointments can take place online, depending on the child’s age, needs and the type of work.
In-person appointments take place at 62A Highgate High Street, N6 5HX. The location and appointment time are agreed before booking. Parent Consultations take place online.
Intensive psychotherapy involves more than one appointment a week. Whether it is suitable, and whether I can offer it, is considered after assessment, taking account of your child’s needs, the family context and the commitment involved. Any intensive arrangement and its fees would need to be agreed separately; the published ongoing arrangement describes weekly psychotherapy.
I currently accept self-pay clients only.
The ongoing psychotherapy programme is £1,250 per month, paid in advance on the first. Treatment is provided during the published September-to-July calendar, with twelve equal payments including August. There is no additional appointment or liaison allowance in August. The fee includes weekly 50-minute psychotherapy during treatment weeks, one 60-minute parent appointment and up to 30 minutes of relevant liaison or additional clinical administration in each active month. Three formal parent reviews replace those months’ ordinary appointments. Routine administration is included separately. It is a rolling arrangement that can end with four weeks’ written notice; first, part-month and final payments are confirmed in writing.
For Parent Consultations, please give at least 48 hours’ notice to cancel or request a change of time. Contact me directly about cancellation because Square does not allow clients to cancel prepaid appointments themselves. For the three-session Psychotherapy Assessment, cancellation at least seven days before the first appointment receives a full refund. Changes requested at least 48 hours before an affected appointment are considered for a suitable alternative or a refund of that unused appointment’s allocation. Later cancellations are subject only to unavoidable loss, capped at £300 for the affected appointment and reduced if the time is rebooked or costs are saved. Unused assessment appointments are refunded if we agree another service should take over. The ongoing psychotherapy programme is a rolling monthly arrangement. Family-missed appointments do not reduce the monthly fee or incur an additional cancellation charge; a suitable same-week alternative may be offered without a guarantee. Ending requires four weeks’ written notice. If I cancel, a suitable replacement or credit/refund is offered. Full terms, including emergencies and assessment refunds, are in the Billing, Attendance and Ending Policy.
Parent Consultation is £200 for 40 minutes online. Psychotherapy Assessment is £900 for three 50-minute appointments; parent(s) join the first, with any parent-only time included within its 50 minutes. The ongoing psychotherapy programme is £1,250 per month, paid in 12 equal monthly instalments.
No. It is a rolling treatment arrangement that can be ended with four weeks’ written notice.
The programme is delivered between September and July, and its cost is divided into 12 equal monthly payments with planned Practice breaks already taken into account.
Regular parent meetings are an essential part of my ongoing psychotherapy programme and are included in the programme fee. They give us time to understand your child’s needs, think about how adults respond and support changes in everyday life. In my clinical approach, psychotherapy is unlikely to be helpful if we cannot also work regularly with the parents or carers who support the child day to day. These meetings protect your child’s private therapeutic space: we discuss themes, progress and practical responses, rather than repeat what they say in sessions, subject to safeguarding responsibilities.
