Sliding Scale | Jon Miller Therapy

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.
