Fees and getting started
This page sets out the current session options, fees, practical process, and key information for starting work with Meridian.
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.
In-person sessions take place in premium, professionally managed counselling spaces in Canary Wharf and Soho. These environments include sound-reduced rooms, white noise support, comfortable design-led interiors, adjustable lighting, air filtration and a discreet professional atmosphere.
Online sessions are delivered via Zoom Telehealth Pro, providing a secure, stable and feature-rich consultation platform with enhanced encryption and advanced telehealth functionality.
This combination helps ensure that the quality of the setting matches the seriousness of the work.
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.
