NEW PAY-IT-FORWARD PROGRAM ANNOUNCEMENT<\/p>\n
A little background story…<\/p>\n
I’ve seen several\u00a0of these pay it forward kindness\u00a0videos (see below) in recent months and frankly it gave me sincere pause for thought. I began\u00a0to wonder how *I* could do something good like this. How could *I* ‘pay it forward’… and I hit upon an idea.<\/p>\n
I do try to undertake whatever pro-bono (unpaid) work that I am able, from giving up one day per week (for the charity MIND for two years) to giving important educational talks freely when I’m able, to allowing for one pro-bono client every week. I also offer a discounted fee for clients in financial hardship and I undertake Skype sessions with clients for whom travel is either a physical, emotional or financial issue.<\/p>\n
I feel very strongly that it’s important to do whatever\u00a0I can to help make\u00a0therapy accessible to all, including those lesser\u00a0privileged i.e. minorities whether social, racial, of differing abilities or diverse gender or sexualities. But I still didn’t feel I was doing as much as I can.<\/p>\n
THIS is a way that I – and YOU – can enable more of that work.<\/p>\n

The idea was fostered by\u00a0a client who – completely altruistically – ‘paid it forward’ by paying for a friend in need to have some sessions with me. I was so touched by this gesture, an honest wish simply to help someone, that I have worked out a way to incorporate\u00a0it within my work.<\/p>\n
Here’s how!<\/p>\n
ANYONE, be they client past or present can at any time simply\u00a0‘overpay’ for their session; any overpayment will go into a separate fund set up solely\u00a0to help pay for counselling for someone else, who genuinely needs to access it\u00a0but truly\u00a0cannot afford to.<\/p>\n
Let me reiterate that clearly.<\/p>\n
YOU\u00a0can – by paying a little bit over\u00a0(IF you’re in a position to and want to do so),\u00a0from\u00a0simply \u00a31 up to a full session fee or more – pay for someone ELSE\u00a0to do some work with me who otherwise would not be able to. Bear in mind these clients would be automatically receiving a\u00a0discount from me, so that I can also\u00a0personally contribute to each pay-it-forward session you enable!<\/p>\n
IF you are\u00a0not a client but simply someone who understands the\u00a0value of the\u00a0work I do and genuinely wishes to contribute to this program allowing others to access it, I WILL be setting up a Patreon page for this very purpose, so please do watch this space for when that option becomes available, but meanwhile if you really want to contribute to this\u00a0pay-it-forward kitty NOW, then please do feel free to use the Paypal link below and be sure to add a note saying\u00a0‘pay it forward’!<\/p>\n

Thank you. I vow to continue to do the work that I do and with YOUR help to enable access to\u00a0it for\u00a0those in need but less able to access therapy by themselves!<\/p>\n
