Which fee is right for me?
You can use this criteria to choose the rate that reflects what you can genuinely afford.
​
This sliding scale makes it possible for me to offer lower-cost spaces to others. If you are able to chose a higher rate, this is an act of generosity to the practice and to those with fewer resources.
Sustaining Rate — £120
This rate is for clients who can meet all their basic needs comfortably and without needing to think much about them:
​
> You are likely employed full-time, or do not need to work due to financial support, family wealth, or investments.
​
> You own your home, and may own more than one property.
​
> You have comfortable expendable income after all regular expenses, and a solid financial cushion — savings, investments, or assets that provide meaningful security.
​
> You could manage a significant unexpected expense without hardship.
​
Standard Rate — £90–110
This rate is for clients who meet their basic needs without significant stress, though they budget carefully:
​
> You are employed full-time or have a reliably sufficient income.
​
> You may rent independently, share housing by choice rather than necessity, or own your home with a mortgage.
​
> You have some expendable income after regular expenses, though you don't have significant savings or financial security beyond day-to-day life.
Supported Rate — £70–90
This rate is for clients who meet their basic needs but feel financial stress regularly, and for whom careful management is necessary.
> You may be employed part-time, self-employed with a variable income, or working but on a modest wage.
​
> You likely share housing with a partner, family or flatmates in order to manage costs, or live rent-free with family.
​
> You have very limited expendable income after regular expenses, a small or fragile financial cushion, and little ability to absorb unexpected costs without difficulty.
Access Rate — pay what you can
This rate is for clients who struggle to meet basic needs or worry significantly about doing so.
> You may be unemployed, relying on benefits, or in unstable housing.
> You have no meaningful expendable income and little or no financial safety net.
> You may have no access to financial support from family or a partner, and no access to savings or intergenerational wealth.
