Pricing and Frequently Asked Questions
This page is here to answer some of the practical questions you may have about working with me, including session fees, accessibility, how sessions work and what support may feel right for you.
What are your costs?
I offer sessions using a sliding scale pricing model based on the Green Bottle Method.
I ask clients to choose the fee level that feels manageable, fair and sustainable for their circumstances where possible.
My fees range from £40 to £70 per session.
I also hold a limited number of concessionary spaces at reduced rates where possible. These are offered on a first-come, first-served basis, depending on availability and capacity. *I currently do not have any concessionary spaces available.
If you are unsure which option feels right for you, you can read more about The Green Bottle Method here.
Who can you work with?
I work with adults over the age of 18 from many different backgrounds, identities, experiences and sexualities. My approach is relational, affirming and grounded in meeting people as they are rather than expecting them to fit a particular mould.
At the same time, I also believe in being honest about scope and specialism.
If you are specifically looking for highly specialist support around areas such as gender identity, sexuality or particular lived experiences, and feel you would benefit from working with someone whose practice is more deeply specialised in those areas, I am happy to help signpost or refer you to other practitioners where appropriate.
The most important thing is that you feel safe, understood and properly supported.
Do You Work With Disabled, Chronically Ill or Neurodivergent Clients?
I work with disabled, chronically ill and neurodivergent clients within both coaching and therapy, and have worked within this area for nearly ten years.
Alongside my professional experience, I also live with chronic illness and mobility impairment myself. Whilst everyone’s experiences are different, I understand personally the complexity of navigating environments, systems and expectations that are not always designed with accessibility, fluctuation or difference in mind.
Do I have to attend weekly?
No. This is entirely dependent on your situation, time and capacity.
If you feel weekly would be beneficial, then we would try to schedule the same time for each week to keep consistency.
If this is not suitable, we will work within your capacity and what works for you. I do not tie people into contracts or programs.
Do you have a waiting list/time?
We can usually get started fairly quickly, depending on both of our schedules and availability. An initial 30 free discovery session can usually be booked the same week.
How long will it take? How many sessions?
There is no fixed timeline or set number of sessions required. Some practitioners work within structured blocks such as 6 or 12 sessions, and if having a clearer timeframe feels helpful for you, we can absolutely work in that way together.
However, I do not believe meaningful support always fits neatly into predetermined timelines. Some people come for short-term support around a specific issue, whilst others choose to work more long-term to explore deeper patterns, experiences or ongoing challenges.
How long are sessions?
Sessions are typically 50 minutes long.
I also recognise that one size does not fit everyone. For some people, 50 minutes can feel too overwhelming. For others, 50 minutes may not feel long enough, particularly if there is a lot to process or untangle. Where possible, I aim to work flexibly around your needs, capacity and what feels most supportive for you.
Where are you based?
I am based in Kirkham, Preston.
I currently can offer in-person sessions from various locations:
✔ Lea, Preston, which is based upstairs and, unfortunately, is not accessible due to three large steps into the building and limited space.
✔ Blackpool, South Shore. This is an accessible venue, although parking is limited.
Many people find online or telephone sessions feel more accessible, manageable and comfortable, particularly when navigating disability, chronic illness, fatigue, anxiety, overwhelm, parenting responsibilities or fluctuating capacity.
I have a low income, do you offer discounts?
I offer a sliding scale pricing structure using the Green Bottle Method, which is designed to make support more accessible whilst also keeping the work sustainable within private practice.
This allows people to choose from different fee levels based on their circumstances, financial capacity and access to resources.
How does telephone therapy work?
Telephone therapy and coaching work in much the same way as in-person sessions.
We would still meet at an agreed time, work confidentially and create a space that feels safe, supportive and focused on you. At the beginning of our work together, we would also make sure you have somewhere as private and comfortable as possible to talk openly during sessions.
Of course, there are some differences with telephone work. We cannot see each other, which means I pay close attention to tone of voice, pauses, pace, emotion and shifts in how things are being communicated.
For some, speaking without being visually observed actually feels easier and less overwhelming. Telephone sessions can also feel more accessible for people navigating anxiety, chronic illness, fatigue, disability, neurodivergence, sensory overwhelm or difficulties leaving the house.
Do I need counselling or coaching?
You do not need to arrive already knowing the answer to that.
Many people reach out feeling overwhelmed, stuck, emotionally exhausted or disconnected from themselves, but are unsure whether what they need is counselling, coaching or a mixture of both.
Traditionally, counselling tends to focus more on emotional wellbeing, relationships, past experiences, self-understanding and processing what is happening internally.
Coaching is often more future-focused and practical, supporting people to move forward, make changes, build confidence, create structure or navigate specific challenges.
In reality, human beings are rarely that neatly separated. Often, the two naturally overlap. You do not need to have the “right” words before reaching out.

Can Counselling Help With Chronic Illness?
A diagnosis can change how you see yourself. Symptoms can affect your confidence, independence, work, relationships, finances and future plans. Even when an illness has been present for years, the emotional impact doesn't necessarily disappear. Many people become skilled at managing the practical side of their condition whilst quietly carrying the emotional weight of it alone.

Accessibility and Flexibility
I understand that living with a chronic illness can mean energy, pain levels, concentration, mobility and overall capacity can fluctuate from day to day, sometimes unpredictably. Where possible, I aim to offer flexibility around this.

Access to Work Strategy Coaching
Trying to work whilst managing disability, chronic illness, neurodivergence, mental health, burnout or overwhelm can feel like doing two full-time jobs at once. Not because you are failing. Because many workplaces, systems and expectations were never designed with disabled people in mind. I offer Access to Work strategy coaching for employed and self-employed people who need practical, sustainable support to navigate work in a way that actually works for them.
