An individual 60-minute session costs €185. A couples session costs €225. The total depends on how many sessions you attend.

These totals are for budgeting. They are not packages or a requirement to book a set number of sessions.

The approach I work with is typically brief. I see most clients for around four to six sessions in total, and in some cases fewer.

For many people, time is short. Unless we agree otherwise, our work together will focus on helping you make the fastest possible progress.

This describes my usual practice, rather than a fixed programme or a guarantee. The number of sessions and the pace depend on your circumstances and what we agree together.

Then another service may be a more workable choice. Lower-cost counselling, community services and publicly funded support are worth exploring where you live. My freely available articles and guides can support reflection, but do not replace an individual assessment.

A higher fee is not, by itself, proof that a practitioner will suit you better.

Payment is in advance. Please give at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel.

No. You can explain briefly what you would like help with, and we can establish whether my offer seems appropriate. Read the practical terms before deciding whether to book.

I offer relationship coaching for individuals and couples, informed by my psychotherapy training and HGI registration. We focus on your situation, choices and practical next steps.

The service offered here does not include psychotherapy, diagnosis, mental health treatment or medical advice. If you need clinical care, an appropriately qualified healthcare professional is the relevant route.

Read about my background and the offer.

Another option may be more useful if you need psychotherapy, mental health treatment or medical advice, prefer meeting in person, or cannot comfortably afford the fee.

I cannot guarantee that a relationship will recover, that a partner will change, or that you will reach a particular decision. We can examine your circumstances and choices; the decision remains yours.

If you cannot speak freely because you fear repercussions, specialist individual support may need to come before joint conversations. If you are unsure about suitability, you can make a brief enquiry before deciding whether to book.

Please tell me which country you will be in during sessions when you enquire, so I can confirm whether I can offer this service there before you book.

Yes. We can work with your experience, choices and responses. I cannot assess your absent partner or promise that they will change. Couples work allows both people’s accounts to be heard, when meeting together is appropriate.

My role is to help you examine what is happening and the consequences of your options. Reconciliation or separation should not be a predetermined outcome.

If there is intimidation, coercive control or fear of repercussions for speaking openly, specialist individual support and safety planning may need to come first. Joint counselling can create risks in an abusive relationship. Read more about this distinction.

We discuss what brought you here, what you want help with and what would be useful to work towards. We can then consider whether further meetings would help.

You are welcome to question my understanding. You do not have to agree with an interpretation because it comes from me.

My sessions take place online through Doxy.me. Consider whether you have reliable access, privacy and a place where you can speak freely. If you prefer meeting in person or cannot find private space, an in-person service may suit you better.

No. I do not record sessions.

Please mention this when you enquire. We need to establish whether another involvement would be useful, whether roles would overlap and how the work would fit together. Do not stop existing treatment simply to take up coaching here.

Agree what you want help with, then review what is changing. Useful changes might include discussing an avoided subject, following through on agreements, or reaching a clearer understanding of a decision.

Feeling understood matters. It is also reasonable to ask what the meetings are helping you do differently, and whether continuing is worthwhile.

It can. Discussing a difficult experience may be unsettling, and the person helping you can also misunderstand or take the conversation in an unhelpful direction. Feeling worse deserves attention; it does not automatically prove that the work is helping.

If it feels safe, explain what happened and ask to review the pace, approach and purpose of the meetings. You can seek an independent view or decide to stop. You do not need to keep attending simply because you have started.

In an abusive relationship, information shared in a joint session may be used against someone afterwards. Fear, intimidation or coercive control need specialist attention; they should not be treated as ordinary disagreements with equal responsibility.

Yes. You can question my interpretation and decide whether to continue. A concern does not commit you to more sessions. Any cancellation charge is a separate practical matter to check in your booking terms.
