Fees
Transparent, straightforward fees
I aim to be clear and upfront about costs. All fees are listed below. For assessments, I provide a written fee agreement before any work begins, setting out the scope, estimated hours, and total cost. If you have questions about fees or want to discuss your specific requirements, please get in touch.
Assessments & Expert Reports
Assessment fees are based on an hourly rate of £80, reflecting the full scope of work involved — reading papers, interviewing, structured professional judgement and screening tools where relevant, formulation, and report writing. Typical costs for standard assessment types are set out below. Where a case is unusually complex or the volume of material is substantial, I will discuss this with you before work begins.
Hourly rate
Applies to all assessment, consultancy, and therapeutic intervention work
£80Single risk assessment
Typically 33 hours — includes file review, interview(s), structured professional judgement and screening tools where relevant, formulation, and report
£2,640Dual assessment (risk and capacity to protect)
Typically 53 hours — covers both the individual presenting a risk and the protective parent or carer
£4,240
Therapeutic Interventions & Consultancy
Therapeutic work and consultancy are charged at the same hourly rate. For ongoing therapeutic work, I will agree a planned number of sessions with you at the outset, with a review point built in.

Travel
I am based in South East England and available for remote work via Zoom as well as in-person work where practicable. Where in-person attendance is required, travel time is charged at £45 per hour. Travel costs (mileage, rail, parking, and any accommodation where an overnight stay is necessary) are charged at cost. I will always confirm anticipated travel costs with you in advance.

A note on fees
I recognise that independent specialist work represents a significant investment, particularly for smaller organisations or private clients. I am happy to discuss payment arrangements where needed. All fees are subject to a written agreement before work begins, and I do not charge for an initial conversation about your requirements.
Discuss your requirements
If you would like to talk through what you need and get a clearer sense of likely costs, I would welcome a conversation. There is no charge for an initial enquiry.
