Fees & Sliding Scale

Fees are on a sliding scale based on your financial resources, contextual factors which may impact financial resources, costs for providing a psychological therapy service in the ‘independent practice/self-employment’ sector, and being paid fairly for work undertaken (including all paperwork such as letters, invoices, reports etc). Based on the work of Alexis J Cunningfolk at https://www.wortsandcunning.com/blog/sliding-scale, and the Radical Therapist Network at https://www.radicaltherapistnetwork.com/

If your circumstances change whilst we are working together, and you experience financial hardship or your access to money changes for any reason, then please let me know and we can talk about what options there may be to support you. Sometimes this is a lower concessionary fee for a period of time, sometimes it is spacing out appointments, or something else.
