Adult Therapy Session: €60 per 50 minute session

Adolescent (16+): €70 per 50 minute session

Initial payment is due at time of booking through Revolut payment link/bank transfer. Other payment methods can be arranged if necessary for future sessions.

To ensure fairness and availability for all clients, I kindly ask that any cancellations be made with at least 48 hours’ notice.

• Cancellations made with less than 48 hours’ notice will incur a 50% cancellation fee. This is because short notice may not allow sufficient time to offer the session to another client.

• Non-attendance without any notice or cancellations made on the day will incur the full session fee.

• If you wish to reschedule your appointment please get in touch and I will try my best to accommodate you in the same week.

In the case of illness or emergencies, I understand that plans can change unexpectedly. If you are unwell and need to cancel, I appreciate as much notice as possible. Face-to-face sessions can be changed to online sessions if appropriate.

I will automatically issue cancellation invoices unless advised otherwise.

Not at all.

There is no expectation that you'll commit to a course of therapy before we've even met.

The first few sessions give us both an opportunity to see how it feels to work together. If the timing isn't right, or if you decide I'm not the right therapist for you, that's completely okay.

What's most important is that you find the support that feels right for you.

Once you send the contact form, I'll reply within one working day. We'll arrange an initial appointment at a time that suits you, either online or in person in Newcestown.

Our first session is a chance to talk about what's bringing you to therapy, answer any questions you have, and explore whether working together feels like the right fit. There is no obligation to continue after that first meeting.

I am very conscious of how you may be feeling coming to your first session.

Deciding to attend psychotherapy and counselling alone can be a nerve wracking decision that requires courage. To show up for the first session can cause all sort of feelings, most commonly anxiety, nervousness or shame.

I will greet you in my meeting room and we will then proceed to my warm, inviting and relaxing private therapy practice room. This is not a medical space or an office environment. It is a space in which we can sit together and work collaboratively. 

The first session is a further exploration of what we would have discussed on the phone. It is also the opportunity for you to decide if we are the right fit. We will also discuss how therapy works, confidentiality and fees/cancellation policy. If you are an adolescent then this will be discussed with your Guardian/Parent(s) present. 

By the end of the first session, if you decide to go ahead with further sessions, we will have an understanding of your challenges, how to work with them effectively and what you would like to be different for you and your life at the end of an agreed upon number of sessions.

Lastly, trust and safety in the therapeutic relationship between me and you is the most important and effective way to ensure therapy and counselling is successful. I will do my very best to put you at ease, build trust, hold a safe space and facilitate you to explore, grow and develop. You are the expert on your life and I will accompany you as you discover your resources and embrace change.

Many people assume therapy is only for times of crisis. In reality, many people come to therapy when life looks "fine" from the outside.

You might be managing work, caring for your family and keeping everything going, yet inside something doesn't feel quite right. You might feel flat, overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself, or simply exhausted from constantly caring for everyone else.

You don't need to be at breaking point to benefit from therapy. Sometimes the most valuable time to seek support is before things reach that point.

Absolutely.

Most people don't arrive at therapy with a clear explanation for how they're feeling. They often say things like, "I just don't feel like myself," or "Something feels off, but I can't explain it."

You don't need the right words before you begin. Part of our work together is making sense of your experience and finding language for what you've been carrying.

It's completely natural to feel nervous before your first session. Many people tell me they weren't sure what to say, or worried they wouldn't know where to begin.

You don't need to prepare anything. You only need to arrive as you are, and we'll take it from there together.
