Three packages. Fixed scope. Pick the size of work.

The work happens in time-bounded packages, not open-ended weekly sessions forever. You buy what you need, do the work, and finish — with skills you keep.

How to pick

The honest sizing.

On the Discovery Call I’ll tell you which package I think fits — that’s mostly what the call is for. But here’s the rough sizing:

  • Reset — one specific thing you want different. Work anxiety. A specific relationship pattern. A bounded transition. Six weeks. If you finish and want more, you can size up.
  • Steady — the default for most people. Enough time to actually install multiple skills and see them work in your life — including when what changed is your baseline or the season you’re in, not one nameable problem. Twelve weeks. Mid-package check-in so we course-correct if needed.
  • Transform — you’re in a real transition. A move, a divorce, a career pivot, becoming a parent abroad. The longest arc — sized so the skills still hold when the scaffolding comes down.

Not sure which package?

Your kind of stuck picks the package.

Practical

Some things worth knowing before you decide.

  • —Sessions are 50 minutes, by video — after a 90-minute intake session that starts every package. Booked through my online scheduler once you’ve signed the agreement and paid for the package. You pick your slots from my available times across CET evenings and US-friendly mornings.
  • —Full refund within 14 days of purchase — your EU withdrawal right. Under the Consumer Rights Directive you can change your mind for any reason before the work starts. That’s why the first session sits 15+ days after purchase by default: it keeps that right fully intact. Want to start sooner? You can — you’ll just be asked to expressly waive the withdrawal right first.
  • —Written recaps, not an open inbox. After every session you get a written recap and practice plan, so the work between sessions doesn’t depend on memory. Transform adds a weekly structured async check-in. There’s no ongoing email channel — not a chat service; not crisis support.
  • —Wrong fit after the first session? You’re not locked in. Once the work starts, refunds pro-rate by sessions used — you pay for the sessions you’ve had, not the rest of the package. One email and it’s handled — no forms, no negotiation.
  • —No insurance. Private-pay by design. No diagnosis, no medical record, no benefits paperwork — clean and simple.

Unsure how any of this applies to your situation? That’s exactly what the free call is for — book a Discovery Call →

Honest

When this isn’t the right call.

  • —You’re in California, Connecticut, Maine, Rhode Island, or Vermont — go to getbetterthoughts.com for my licensed therapy practice instead.
  • —You need diagnosis or treatment for a mental health condition — that’s clinical work, find a licensed clinician in your jurisdiction.
  • —You’re in active crisis or having thoughts of self-harm — please see our crisis resources page for immediate local support.
  • —You want couples or family work — this practice is one-to-one coaching only.
  • —You want a coach who’ll be your best friend or your cheerleader. The work here is warm but bounded; not a friendship.

Frequently asked

Common questions

Which package should I start with?
Most people start with Steady (8 sessions over 3 months) — it's the flagship for a reason. Reset is for narrower issues; Transform is for major transitions. The Discovery Call exists exactly to figure out which fits.
Can I start with a single session instead of a package?
Yes, two ways. A single 50-minute session on demand is €180, with nothing to commit to. Or start with the 90-minute intake on its own (€270 — 90 minutes at the €150 package rate, because it credits toward a package): questionnaire review, background and history, goals, and a personalized skills plan. If you continue into any package within 30 days, the €270 is credited toward it. Most people who want the full picture before committing start with the intake. Book the free Discovery Call to set either up.
What about payment plans?
Every package offers monthly installments via Stripe Subscriptions — Reset in 2, Steady and Transform in 2 or 3 — same total, no financing fee. If an installment fails, you get an automatic email with a secure Stripe link to update your card or retry, and Stripe retries the charge itself over the following days. A failed installment doesn't cancel your package — if it can't be resolved, Rose contacts you directly to sort it out.
What if I need to pause the package?
Life happens. We can pause a package once for up to 6 weeks at no charge — extending the package's outer end date accordingly. Pauses beyond that are case-by-case. Better to pause early and explicitly than to ghost.
Can I cancel?
EU consumers have a 14-day withdrawal right under the Consumer Rights Directive — full refund if you haven't started the work. After the first session, refunds are pro-rated based on sessions used. One email and it's handled — no forms, no negotiation.
Do you do free trial sessions?
No — the Discovery Call is the free conversation. Trial sessions tend to underprice the work and create the wrong expectations. If you want to know what a session feels like, the Discovery Call gives you a sense of my voice and approach.
Can I upgrade to a bigger package later?
Yes. If you finish Reset and want to keep going, the full Reset cost applies as credit toward Steady or Transform — and your before/after check-in scores show exactly what the work has moved so far, so the decision is based on data, not a sales pitch.

No package

A single 50-min session, on demand

Book one session on its own — nothing to commit to. Useful for a single question you want worked through, or as a follow-up after a package. A package brings the same 50 minutes to €150 or under and adds the 90-min intake, the written plan, and the end-of-package review.

You can also start with just the 90-min intake: every package begins with the same 90-minute session — €270 on its own, credited in full toward any package within 30 days.

Both are set up on your free Discovery Call — that’s where sessions get scheduled.
