Couples therapy fees
£195 for a 90-minute couples session
Most couples who come to me have been stuck for months, sometimes years. Every month of the same argument, the same silence or the same hurt has a cost too.

Why 90 minutes makes the difference
Many therapists offer 50-minute sessions. With two people in the room, that often means just getting past the surface before it's time to stop, and going home mid-argument.
In 90 minutes we have time to calm things down, get underneath what's really driving the hurt, and practise a different way of talking using Imago dialogue. Couples leave with something that feels different, not just something that's been said.
Affair recovery therapy — £195 per 90-minute session
Discovering an affair can turn your whole world upside down. I work with couples after affairs every single week.
We start with getting you through the crisis, then make sense of what happened and what comes next. You don't need to know yet whether you want to stay together.
Couples therapy — £195 per 90-minute session
If you keep having the same arguments, feel disconnected or have drifted apart, we'll look at the pattern keeping you stuck and learn to talk without tearing each other apart.

Questions about couples therapy fees
How much does couples therapy cost?
Couples therapy with me costs £195 per 90-minute session. The fee is the same for couples therapy and affair recovery, and the same whether we meet in person or online on Zoom.
Why are sessions 90 minutes instead of 50?
Many therapists offer 50-minute sessions. With a couple, that often means just getting past the surface before it's time to stop. In 90 minutes there's time to calm things down, get to what's really driving the hurt, and practise a different way of talking, so you don't leave mid-conversation.
How often do we meet?
Usually weekly or fortnightly. We agree the frequency together based on what's happening in your relationship, and review it as things change. You're never signed up to a fixed package.
Is online couples therapy the same price?
Yes. Online sessions on Zoom are £195 for 90 minutes, the same as in person. I see couples in person in Otley on weekdays and in Harrogate on Saturday mornings, and online during the day and in the evenings.
What's your cancellation policy?
I ask for 48 hours' notice to cancel or move a session. Sessions cancelled with less notice are charged at the full fee.
What if my partner isn't sure about therapy?
That's very common. The free 15-minute call is a low-pressure way for you both to hear how I work and ask questions before deciding anything.
Is the free 15-minute call a therapy session?
No. It's a short call where I hear a little from each of you about what's going on, answer your questions about fees and how I work, and we see whether working together feels right.
