What I offer you
“I worked with Billie during a very tumultuous and difficult time in my life, the space she held for me was invaluable and helped me work through two difficult and different bereavements as well as the anxiety and perfectionism I struggle with. From our first call when she assured me she couldn’t offer me certainty but could help me deal with uncertainty I knew she would be someone I could trust to be honest and kind in our work. Our relationship has rippled out to change and deepen all the other relationships in my life for which I am continually grateful. ”
“Over the past year, Billie has helped me to do things I never thought were possible. She has helped me on my journey to heal my childhood trauma and start recovery from co-dependency. Through gently challenging me, she has helped me grow and heal. I’ll carry the things I learnt from her through my life and I’m so glad I chose to work with her.”
Weekly Online Zoom Psychotherapy - 50 minutes
Online therapy means you aren’t limited to the therapists in your local area. I work with people all over the country and Europe. Zoom sessions are a great resource that fit seamlessly in with your schedule and are very easy to set up. If you are looking for confidential professional support to help you through difficult times but need flexibility and the convenience of having therapy in your own private space - Zoom sessions could be perfect for you. Clients feedback noticing a difference in themselves and their perspective on issues in 6-10 sessions.
Research shows that online therapy interventions are mostly as effective as in person work.

FAQS
-
You might see the hourly rate for therapists and align this with the hourly rate advertised on a 40 hour a week corporate job. (Which include paid sick leave, holidays, consistent income and various other perks self employed people don’t have on tap)
If I saw saw 40 clients in a week as therapist, I would be burnt out and ill in under a month!
To ethically take care of myself and my clients I can’t see a high volume of people. My rate reflects both my rich lived experience and extensive training. It also reflects how seriously I take my work.
Working in depth with clients, means I am highly in touch and effected by people’s psyche, life experiences and history.
Relational therapy is an energy exchange, and as deep feeling, highly intuitive person I am very conscious of taking good care of myself in this work so that I can keep doing it in a sustainable way.
Under the current capitalist society we are forced to live in, this means being paid well for the work that I offer clients looking to make desired psychological changes.
-
Not to give a typical therapisty answer but this isn’t easy to quantify and is very individual! It will depend on your presenting issues, the complexity of what you are bringing to therapy and also how many sessions you can afford. If you have a time limit of sessions in mind, let’s talk about this in our initial consultation as it’s helpful for me to know in shaping your experience of therapy. My aim is to help you get what you need in the time we have.
-
No I don’t. My experience has shown that weekly therapy, particularly in the beginning, is the most effective for clients wishing to make psychological changes. Fortnightly sessions can often slip into a place of ‘reporting’ what’s been happened in the gap between seeing one another. This doesn’t allow for the depth of work required to make change. When I work with people longer term, we sometimes agree to go to fortnightly sessions while working towards an ending.
-
Yes I do. I work with AXA, Aviva and WPA. If you are thinking of using your insurance to access therapy with me please let me know in your initial email as I only hold a certain number of slots in my practice for insurance clients.
I don’t work with BUPA. This is because they don’t pay their therapists well.
-
I do have some slots offered at a lower fee in my practice, however these are taken up for the foreseeable future with long term clients.
If you can’t afford therapy right now there are other options available to you:
Low Cost Services - Some organisations offer free or lost cost therapy options to work with trainee psychotherapists/counsellors in clinical supervision.
Here are some places to try CPPD London, Fresh Start Psychotherapy, Women and Health, CCPE Clinic, Mind ( therapy and support groups) and Help Counselling.
Helplines and Crisis Support - If you need immediate help there are helplines available 24/7. Such as Samaritans, Shout, Mind, or the NHS.
