I offer face-to-face sessions, on a long- or short-term basis, for individuals or couples. Each session normally lasts for an hour, and takes place on a weekly or fortnightly basis, usually in Rimont. However, this isn't fixed in stone, and we may be able to agree on alternative arrangements or locations; for example, longer, intensive sessions may feel more appropriate on occasion. Because of the importance of the therapeutic relationship in my work, I don't offer either telephone or online therapy.

I offer counselling and therapy within a non-profit making association, The Person Centre, and therefore set out simply to cover my costs. On this basis, a one hour session for an individual or couple is normally charged at 35€, considerably less than normal 'commercial' rates. I don't therefore offer concessionary rates, though if you find the fees difficult we can discuss the possibility of your 'paying' a proportion in kind - an exchange of something of roughly equivalent value: for example, your produce, or your time in the form of conservation or gardening work, work in the house, or something similar. We can discuss and agree the details before we meet or during our first session.

I also offer regular or one-off facilitation for large and small groups (including families), either here in Ariège or farther afield. I also offer person-centred supervision for counsellors, therapists, group leaders, complementary medicine practitioners or anyone in the 'helping professions'. Please contact me for details.

I adhere to the Ethical Framework of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and that of L'Association Française de Psychothérapie dans l'Approche Centrée sur la Personne, of which I am a member. Trust between therapist and client is absolutely crucial, and all my therapeutic work is confidential. This means that everything disclosed, together with the fact that you have made contact with me or are a client, stays with me and me alone.
