A brief call for practical questions about services and arrangements.
This is not counselling, coaching, a clinical assessment or clinical advice.
Client portal access does not confirm the availability of a clinical service.
Please enquire first about a new appointment.
A structured and professionally held service
Sessions at Meridian are defined not only by the work itself, but by the environment and level of care in which that work is delivered.
We welcome enquiries about online counselling and potential in-person arrangements in London, including Canary Wharf and Soho. The responsible practitioner and any location or room arrangements must be agreed before an appointment is confirmed.
Corporate, organisational and professional referrals
Meridian can provide counselling, coaching, wellbeing support and psychoeducational input for organisations, professional firms, charities, educational settings and community organisations. This may include staff wellbeing support, communication and relationship workshops, culturally sensitive mental health education, and structured referral pathways.
Corporate and organisational work is quoted individually depending on scope, format and requirements.
Indicative session fees
These are guide prices for proposed services, not an offer of an immediately available appointment. Your named practitioner, final fee, duration and terms will be confirmed before you agree a booking or make payment. Practitioner availability is not guaranteed.

Session structure and regularity
Counselling sessions are usually weekly at the beginning. This can be reviewed over time depending on need, progress and availability.
How to get started
1. Send a general enquiry about the service or request a brief administrative call.
2. We check whether practitioner arrangements and availability can be confirmed.
3. Where a practitioner is available, you receive their details, proposed fee and terms. Any clinical assessment is undertaken by that practitioner.
4. Only then can an appointment be agreed and the appropriate booking/payment steps completed.
Introductory call
A brief 10-minute introductory call is available for practical questions. It is not a counselling session and does not provide clinical advice. Availability may be limited each week.
Payment and cancellation
Payment arrangements will be confirmed once a named practitioner, the service, availability, fee and terms have been agreed. Submitting an enquiry does not require payment.
Cancellations or changes require at least 24 hours’ notice. Late cancellations and missed appointments may be charged in full.
Reduced-fee / concession spaces
A limited number of reduced-fee remote counselling spaces may be available for clients experiencing financial difficulty. These are offered subject to availability and eligibility.
Reduced-fee spaces may be considered for:
Students
People unemployed or on low income
NHS or key workers
Pensioners on low income
Evidence may be requested.
FAQ
