My Rates and Fee Structure
Introduction:
This fee structure is based on my work in the UK and also applies generally to the European Economic Area.
Verbal agreements are common in many projects. While it often works, misunderstandings occur. To avoid ambiguity, I’ve outlined my fee structure as clearly as I can. These rates are my default; unless explicitly agreed otherwise (preferably in writing), these rates apply. They are negotiable based on individual and budgetary circumstances.
My default rate in Pounds Sterling and Euros is the same. For example, if my hourly rate for dramaturgy is written as £50, then in euros it will be €50. I will continually review my European rates as and when I feel I is necessary.
Services:
My professional services include:
Dramaturgy.
Systemic and neurodiversity coaching.
Somatic movement education and bodywork.
Teaching and facilitation.
Short Engagements:
A minimum engagement means you will be charged for a set block of time regardless of the actual hours booked. For example, booking a 1.5-hour dramaturgy session will still result in a charge of 3 hours (the minimum engagement). Similarly, if you book multiple shorter sessions across different days, each day is considered separately, and the minimum engagement applies to each unless agreed upon in advance otherwise.
I offer a sliding scale, with lower rates available for projects with limited budgets and higher rates for those with larger budgets.
For short, project-based work, my fees are as follows:
Dramaturgy:
Hourly Rate: £50-100 per hour (sliding scale — £60 by default)
Minimum Engagement: 3-hour block (£150 minimum — £180 by default)
Day Rate: £400-800 (sliding scale)
Teaching and Facilitation:
Hourly Rate: £75-100 per hour (sliding scale)
Minimum Engagement: 2-hour session (£150 minimum)
Longer Projects:
I offer package rates for longer projects and ongoing engagements. These are negotiated based on the project budget, expectations, and availability. Please keep the base rates mentioned above in mind as a guideline. The more consistent the engagement, the more flexible the pricing can be.
Once a package rate is agreed upon, it will apply in full unless cancellation agreements are made in writing. I am open to reasonable cancellation arrangements, but please note that I will decline other work once booked to avoid scheduling conflicts.
Individual Bodywork and Coaching:
For personal bodywork and coaching, sessions are paid per session unless otherwise agreed. The standard rate is £90 per hour, with a sliding scale down to £60 per hour for those on low incomes.
A 72-hour cancellation policy applies. If you cancel with less than the required notice, I reserve the right to charge for the session in full. However, I may waive or reduce this fee under certain circumstances, particularly for compassionate reasons such as childcare or family responsibilities.
