Why I Chose To Use The Pay-It-Forward Model

Here's some info about why I chose to use the pay-it-forward model and non-financial contributions.

Pay-it-forward

My sessions are offered through a pay-it-forward model. This model is rooted in mutual respect, trust and care for people.

This means there is no fixed price for sessions. Instead of paying a set fee, you are invited to offer what feels right for you — financially and ethically — in recognition of the care, time, and experience you receive.

Part of your financial contribution goes into a Pay-It-Forward pool to fund sessions for future clients.

I trust you to choose an amount that:

• Feels honest and sustainable for you

• Reflects the value of the session as you experienced it

• Supports the continuation of this work for others

Why I work this way

I believe that healing and care should be:

• Responsive to an individual's needs and circumstances

• Based on relationships rather than transactions

• Rooted in compassion and trust

• Accessible to all

The pay-it-forward model allows my practice to exist in a way that aligns with my values.

Guidance on how much to pay forward

Your contribution is received in good faith, based on your current circumstances and your honest sense of value.

I recognise that choosing an amount might feel uncomfortable, so here are some suggestions:

• £30.00 for a consultation

• £10.00 for a personal remedy mix

Also, here's some guidance from the UK's Therapy Directory, "As a very rough guide, you could expect to pay around £1 per minute for the expertise of a qualified, insured professional."

At different times in life, your financial situation can change — that’s expected and respected. You’re welcome to make your financial gift at a later time, when it feels more possible. My services aren’t dependent on immediate payment.

If money isn’t available, non-financial gifts are also welcome — this might be a skill, a service, a creative offering, writing a testimonial, sharing my services on your socials or referring somebody who might benefit.

Your presence, your trust and your contribution (in whatever form it takes)

are what make my work possible.
