My approach to pricing

I am committed to providing training which is accessible and sustainable. The core training is free thanks to my partnership with Thrive LDN because I believe that trauma-informed principles belong to us all as part of our shared humanity. 

The bespoke services still aim to be flexible and transparent, with models designed to accommodate a range of budget frameworks. I am always open to a conversation to align our services with the support you need. All prices are VAT exempt.
