Fees and FAQs

Here are answers to the questions I'm asked most often. If there's anything else you'd like to know, please just get in touch.

What do you offer?

One-to-one counselling and psychotherapy for adults (18 and over), either short or long term, all via Zoom. All sessions are weekly. I also offer clinical supervision to practising therapists, support workers, and organisations. I don't offer couples or family therapy, and I no longer work with children and young people. For young people's counselling and couples counselling, please contact The Palmeira Practice, where I am the owner.

What does it cost?

The initial consultation is £40. Ongoing sessions are £70. Payment is due in advance of each session, and payments are requested by bank transfer.

Clinical Supervision: £70 per 50 minute session. 90 minute sessions also available.

How do I get started?

We begin with an initial consultation, a chance to meet, talk about what's brought you to therapy, and see whether working together feels like a good fit. If you'd like to continue, we'll agree a regular weekly time and a brief working contract. Sessions are 50 minutes weekly.

How long will I be in therapy?

It varies. Some people do a focused piece of short-term work over a number of months. Others benefit from working for a year or more. The length of time isn't directly linked to how serious the issue is, it's more about what you want and what feels right. We'll talk about this at the outset and can revisit it as we go.

What about confidentiality?

Confidentiality is the cornerstone of counselling and psychotherapy. Whatever we discuss stays between us and won't be shared with anyone without your agreement, with a small number of exceptions (for example, if I had serious concerns about safety). If you have any questions about this, please do ask.

How do I make contact?

Email is usually easiest: shelleyholland@hotmail.com. You can also use the contact form on this site, or text 07981 713163.
