It varies, but the average length of intervention is 3 sessions.

My ethos is about supporting and empowering clients (and their family/carers) towards confident self-management, in as few sessions as possible.

Often, later down the line, clients want a review/ a top-up session to provide motivation to keep going, to meet different needs or they may need more help. And if people need longer, more intensity +/- want more consistent support to reach their goals- I am very happy to provide it. My door is always open.

It is £120 for an hour of my time.

An initial assessment is a hour in duration, but follow up treatment can be booked for a shorter time, for example if your energy levels would not permit a lot of exercise or focused cognitive demand. In those situations, we can plan for a 30 - or 45 - minute follow-up session and adjust cost to match time spent.

For situations that require greater intensity of rehab, you can choose to block-book for five hour-long sessions, costing £500 (saving £100 versus pay-as-you-go).

Initial assessments are paid for after the appointment has occurred. Follow-up appointments are paid for in advance.

Preferred method of payment is by bank transfer into my business bank account (details on the invoice). Cash payments are also accepted.

Travel within Chester and 20-minute car journey radius is included. Travel is charged on a £1/mile fee outside of this to compensate for time spent and travel costs.

Cancel or reschedule an appointment more than 24 hours in advance of the appointment time to avoid a cancellation fee.

This allows time to book someone else into the appointment slot. Cancellations less than 24 hours in advance, incur the full appointment fee.

I am registered with Healthcode, and my fees are covered by certain insurers including Benenden Health Insurance. Please check with your insurer to see whether your cover would extend to my fees.

Yes, after all contacts, I follow up with an email sent to you, and to any medical providers who you wish to receive the information, summarising my findings, the goals of our interventions and a detailed description of any exercises in our rehab plan.

Sometimes photographs/ videos are taken during the session, to provide clear visuals for how to do your exercises. These will always be taken on your device, so remain your property.

I am very happy to dovetail with NHS neuro physio services to provide a greater dose of therapy in situations that require it.

In most situations, and with your consent, the NHS therapist and I communicate to ensure that we are working together and towards the same goals, to help you to get the most out of your rehab interventions.

Yes, I have almost two decades of qualified neuro physiotherapist experience and it is now very unusual that I am meeting a condition or symptom for the first time.

But if it is new to me, I would take the time to learn as much as I can about it after our initial screening call, so that I am fully informed and can provide you with the highest quality neuro rehab input.

Eclectic and client-centred. I focus is on really understanding my clients, their needs and the factors that will help them to remain motivated whilst working towards their rehab goals long-term.

Everyone is different so my rehab approach varies person to person. I spend a lot of time researching the best strategies for treating certain conditions and certain difficulties, so that also guides our intervention, but there is always that personal twist.

There is a long list of rehab courses that I have taken over recent years . Please view a list of my courses here.
