Cambridge·Online

UK, Spain, the rest of Europe and the US

Online therapy with a psychologist, wherever you are

The same therapy, in English or Spanish.

60-minute video sessions with a qualified psychologist (licence M-41370, Madrid) with a PhD in Neuroscience. No travel, no waiting room, and the same confidentiality as in person.

Talk for 15 minutes, free See how it works

Individual 60-minute session: £80 · €60 · $100, depending on where you live.

Q: Why isn’t the fee the same in every country?

Each zone has a published fee in its own currency, set for its price level: pounds in the UK, euros in Spain and the eurozone, and dollars in the US. They are fixed prices, not conversions, so the amount doesn’t change with the exchange rate.

Q: I don’t have a private space at home. What can I do?

It’s the most common practical obstacle and it can be solved: a parked car works surprisingly well, as does a meeting room booked at work, or a walk with headphones if the session allows it.

Q: What if the connection drops?

The session continues by phone. You don’t lose the session and you’re not charged twice.

Who it works especially well for

—You live abroad and want therapy in your own language, English or Spanish.

—Your diary can’t take another hour of travelling.

—You travel, move house or change city and don’t want to break off therapy.

—You’re in or near Cambridge and would like to mix online and in-person sessions.

I moved abroad too. I know how heavy it can feel to do therapy in a language that isn’t your own.

How it works

From first message to first session

No apps to install, no awkward platforms. A link, a browser and a quiet hour.

You get in touch

Through the form, by email or on WhatsApp. I reply personally within 24 working hours.

A 15-minute call

Free, by phone or video. You tell me what’s going on, I tell you whether I can help and what it would cost. You decide.

You get the link

An encrypted video call. It opens in your browser, with nothing to install.

A 60-minute session

Just like in person. Never recorded. Paid by bank transfer before each session.

All you need

A room nobody will walk into

This matters most of all. If there isn’t one at home, a parked car works; more people do it than you’d think.

Headphones

They improve both sound and privacy. The ones that came with your phone are fine.

An ordinary connection

You don’t need superfast broadband. If it drops, I’ll phone you and we carry on: you don’t lose the session.

Ten minutes’ breathing space

Don’t book the session back-to-back with a meeting. Going straight from therapy into a Teams call doesn’t work well.

The question everyone asks

Does it work as well as in person?

The research so far finds no significant difference in effectiveness between online and in-person therapy for most psychological problems, including anxiety and depression, with high levels of satisfaction and engagement. What shapes the outcome is the therapeutic relationship and the quality of the techniques, not the medium.

What online adds

Continuity if you travel or move

You practise the exercises in your real-life setting

Therapy in English or Spanish, wherever you are

An hour is an hour, not two once you add the travel

When I’d rather see you in person

If you have no truly private space

If there’s a clinical risk that needs close follow-up

For some first couples sessions, where that’s possible

I’ll tell you on the call. I won’t sell you online therapy if it isn’t right for you

Never recordedNo audio, no video, under any circumstances.

Encrypted connectionA secure video call, with no apps to install.

Professional confidentialityThe same ethical and legal duties as in the consulting room.

Hybrid optionNear Cambridge: mostly online, in person when it helps.

Fees

How much online therapy costs

Online sessions cost less than in-person ones, because they cost me less to run. Your fee is in the currency of the country where you live, and it’s published here: no small print, no surprises.

First conversation15 minutes by phone or video, from any country, with no obligation to book afterwards.

Why there are three currenciesI charge in the currency of the country where you live, with a published fee for each zone. These are fixed prices, not automatic conversions, so your fee doesn’t change when exchange rates move. If your country isn’t listed, mention it on the call and I’ll tell you which fee applies. No packages and no minimum number of sessions; free cancellation with at least 48 hours’ notice.

What about in-person sessions?At my practice in Cambridge: £90 for a 60-minute individual session and £120 for a 90-minute couples session. You’ll find the details on psychologist in Cambridge.

Common questions

I don’t live in the UK. Can I still have therapy with you?

Yes. I work with people in the UK, Spain, other EU countries and the US, in English or Spanish. We just need to fit around the time difference, which is usually easier than it sounds. If you’re a Spanish speaker in London, I also have a dedicated page in Spanish.

How do I pay from another country?

By bank transfer before each session, in the currency of your fee: pounds if you live in the UK, euros if you live in Spain or the eurozone, and dollars if you live in the US. For euro clients, a SEPA transfer within the eurozone carries no extra cost; for anything else, we’ll sort out the details on the call.

Why isn’t the fee the same in every country?

Because each market has its own price level and its own costs. I work with a published fee for each zone: pounds in the UK, euros in Spain and the eurozone, and dollars in the US. They’re fixed prices, not conversions, so what you pay doesn’t move with the exchange rate. Everyone within the same zone pays the same.

I don’t have a private space at home. What can I do?

It’s the most common practical obstacle, and it can be solved: a parked car works surprisingly well, as does a meeting room booked at work, or a walk with headphones if the session allows it. Let me know and we’ll sort it out before we start.

What if the connection drops?

I’ll phone you and we’ll carry on that way. You don’t lose the session and you’re not charged twice. It rarely happens, and when it does it isn’t a problem.
