Practical information
Before starting therapy or supervision, most people have practical questions about cost, timing and how sessions actually work. You’ll find the answers to most of them here. If something isn’t covered, you’re welcome to ask me during our first call.

Free initial call
Every new working relationship starts with a free 15-minute call. Therapy is built on the relationship between us, so it matters that you get a feel for who I am before committing to anything. You can tell me what’s bringing you here, and I’ll explain how I work and answer any questions you have. Afterwards, there’s no obligation to continue.
Sessions
Sessions last 50 minutes. When we’re doing EMDR work, we sometimes agree on a longer session together, since processing trauma has its own pace and doesn’t always fit neatly into a fixed slot.
Sessions take place online, so all you need is a quiet, private space and a stable internet connection. Many of the people I work with live outside their home country or move around for work, and working online means we can keep going wherever life takes you without losing continuity.
I see clients during the day, usually Tuesday to Thursday between 9:00 and 16:00, and on Fridays between 9:00 and 14:00 (Central European Time). I don’t offer evening or weekend sessions.
Therapy tends to work best when it has some steadiness to it. Trust takes time to build, and a regular rhythm gives the work room to deepen at its own pace. Most people meet weekly or fortnightly, and we’ll agree together on what suits you and the work we’re doing.
Languages
I work in English and Maltese, and can also hold sessions in Italian, as long as you’re comfortable enough following some English too.
Fees
I work with two fee levels. The idea behind it is simple: people in a more comfortable financial position pay a little more, which allows me to keep a number of places at a lower rate for those who would otherwise find therapy out of reach. I don’t ask for proof of income. I trust you to choose the rate that honestly reflects your situation, and if cost is a concern, please bring it up during the initial call.
The standard rate applies to most people.
The higher rate applies if any of these describes you:
- your net monthly income is above €3,000 or you have significant assets – such as property beyond your home or substantial savings/investments, even if your monthly income itself is lower
- you live or work in Australia, Denmark, Hong Kong, Iceland, Luxembourg, New Zealand, Norway, Singapore, Switzerland, or United Arab Emirates.

Longer sessions are charged in proportion to their length, so a 75-minute session, for example, costs one and a half times the 50-minute fee.
Written reports are billed in the same way, in 15-minute blocks: €35 per 15 minutes at the standard rate and €44 at the higher rate. All fees are in euro.
Fees for training and workshops are quoted per enquiry.
Payment
Payment is by SEPA bank transfer in euro, and I’ll share the account details once we decide to work together. Please make sure any bank transfer charges are covered on your side, so that the full fee arrives.
Cancellations
If you need to cancel or move a session, I ask that you let me know at least 48 hours beforehand. Because that time is held for you, sessions cancelled with less notice are charged in full, unless it’s for an urgent medical reason.
How I handle boundaries outside sessions, such as meeting in public or online, is set out on my professional boundaries page.
