- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Client rate scale: Base rate US$150 per hour Figues are based on per annum income: What you pay per hour is dependant on your income level. I leave it to you to self-assess your income level, and therefore the fee you will pay. See below for a rate scale. When calculating rates for an individual, the total gross combined income of the couple is counted, if in a relationship. Incomes are per year, gross. Standard fee (incomes less than $60,000) $150 per hour $60,000-90,000 $175 per hour $90,000-$120,000 $225 per hour $120,000-$200,000 $300 per hour above $200,000 $400 per hour I realise that some people are in difficult financial hardship, especially when responsible for young children and with limited support; these circumstances will be addressed on a case by case basis. Career Decision Coaching sessions are a fixed fee of $580
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Yes, I have a long history in my career of doing both professional development, and self development. I read and discuss with colleagues contemporary ideas, and my teaching work requires me to stay abreast of new developments.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I heard about a peer counselling program called Co-counselling. I studied that as a teenager, and found a whole new world opening up to me. In my early 20's I ran a variety of businesses, studied theatre and clowning, and worked for a newspaper. When I got married and had a child in my mid 20's therapy seemed the natural career choice, and I have never regretted it.
