PRACTICALITIES

 

Initial meeting

The initial appointment is fundamental for both me and you to make a decision whether to work together. It’s also the opportunity for you to ask questions, find out more about the therapeutic process, talk about what you hope to get out of it and agree a desirable outcome that we both feel is realistic and achievable. If you decide to continue with a psychotherapy or counselling programme, you will be asked to commit to attending regular weekly sessions, which will take place at the same time and place each week. Different rules will apply to coaching contracts, and these will be agreed at the initial session.

 

Duration and frequency of sessions

Once weekly, 50-minute sessions are the norm. These can be for a limited period or open-ended for more in-depth analytic work (where frequency can also be increased up to 2-3 times a week). We will discuss the potential duration of our work during the initial meeting and this can be reviewed by you at any stage. Evenings and Saturdays appointments are available.

 

Cancellations and missed sessions

Once the first appointment has been booked, I require at least 48 hours notice if you decide to cancel, otherwise the full agreed fee is payable. After the initial appointment, if you decide to continue we will agree a regular time which will be set aside for you as a dedicated on-going slot and missed sessions will have to be paid for.  

 

 

Confidentiality

Fees

My standard fees vary between £50-£80 for individual therapy and £60-90 for couple therapy. My fee is calculated depending on the time and day of the regular slot requested, as well as personal financial circumstances.
