Holistic therapy
An hour that does not ask you to have it figured out.
Personal sessions, in person or online, offered by pay-what-feels-right donation. Conversation, creative work, quiet, or whatever combination suits the day.
If you need help urgently
If you are in immediate danger or need urgent help, please contact emergency services or a crisis line rather than waiting for a session.

The approach
How Meg works
Sessions begin with a short question about what you are hoping for, and 'I do not know' is a complete answer to it. From there the session goes wherever it needs to.
Meg's background is in creative practice and holistic wellbeing rather than clinical psychology. That means the work is exploratory and supportive rather than diagnostic. Her qualifications and professional background are set out in full on the About page: Placeholder: MEG'S QUALIFICATIONS.
Nothing is pushed. If a direction is not helping, it gets dropped without discussion.
Inside the hour
What a session may include
Conversation
Talking through what is present, at whatever pace suits. Silence is part of it rather than a gap in it.
Creative work
Colour, paper, clay or fibre on the table. Used when words are the harder route, not as a reward for finishing the talking.
Quiet and reflection
Time set aside to sit with something rather than to solve it.
Natural materials
Working with plants, wool, wood and cloth — things with texture and a bit of resistance.
Practical support
Small, specific things to try afterwards, only if you want them.
Nothing at all
Some sessions are mostly rest. That is a legitimate use of the hour.
Step by step
What to expect
Before
You book a time and share only what you feel like sharing. There is no intake questionnaire about your mental health history.
Arriving
The room is warm and quiet, with tea and materials already out. You do not need to be ready when you walk in.
During
Placeholder: SESSION LENGTH. You can stop, change direction, or sit in silence at any point.
Afterwards
A short note with anything you asked to be sent. Then nothing, unless you get in touch.
Who this may suit
- People who find formal therapy rooms difficult
- People who process things better while their hands are busy
- People who cannot currently afford a set session fee
- People wanting reflective space alongside other support they already have
- People who are not in crisis but are not doing especially well either
What this is not
- This is not clinical treatment and cannot replace it
- It is not a crisis or emergency service
- It does not include diagnosis, medication advice, or reports for legal, medical or insurance purposes
- It is not couples or family therapy
How therapy is paid for
You choose what the session is worth to you.
There is no fixed price for a therapy session. You choose an amount, and that amount does not change the length of the session, the care taken in it, or how soon you can book the next one.
You never need to explain your choice. Meg does not see what you have given until well after the session has finished, and no one else sees it at all.
This exists for one reason: cost should not be what decides whether someone gets support.
Choose your donation
Suggestions only. None of them is expected.
The amount you choose does not change the session in any way, and you are never asked to explain it. Donations are not tax deductible.
Questions
Frequently asked, about therapy.
There is no fixed script. Some sessions are entirely conversation. Some are mostly quiet, with materials on the table and talking that happens sideways while hands are busy. Meg will ask what you are hoping for at the start, and it is completely acceptable to answer that you do not know.
No. This is holistic wellbeing support and creative practice. It is not clinical treatment, it does not involve diagnosis, and it is not a substitute for care from a registered health professional. Meg's qualifications and professional background are listed in full on the About page: Placeholder: MEG'S QUALIFICATIONS.
No. You do not need to consider yourself creative. Curiosity is enough, and plenty of sessions involve no art materials at all.
Placeholder: SESSION LENGTH. If a session needs to end early, that is fine and it does not change anything about what you choose to give.
Yes. Online sessions run over Placeholder: VIDEO PLATFORM and work well for conversation-led sessions. Weaving and messier art work is easier in person, though people do both from home with materials they already own.
Yes, within limits that Meg will explain at the start of your first session. The main limit is safety: if there is a serious risk of harm to you or someone else, Meg may need to involve someone who can help. Full detail is in the Privacy Policy.
Please do not wait for a session. Contact emergency services or a crisis line — the numbers are listed on the Therapy page and in the Wellbeing Disclaimer. Meg does not offer an emergency or after-hours service and cannot respond quickly to urgent messages.
Other questions are on the full FAQ page, or you can send Meg a message.
Booking a session
Choose a session type, pick a time, and share as little or as much as you want to in advance. If you would rather ask a question first, a short introductory call costs nothing.
