PRACTICALITIES

Practicalities


Initial consultation

To begin, we would have a 50 minute consultation to establish what it is you need and to identify specific areas, if any, that you would like to focus on. It is also an opportunity to see if we could work together and if the therapy I practice is right for you.


Length of therapy

This is up to you and based on your needs and aims. I offer short-term and open-ended work, but at the beginning it is often useful to agree to 6 sessions and then review how we are getting on.


Sessions

Each session thereafter is 50 minutes and, if possible, we would try and meet at the same time each week. 


Fees (cash and BACS only - late payments will incur interest)


  • Initial consultation -50 minutes: £60 (paid in advance via BACS)


  • Session fee - 50 minutes: £60


Ongoing session fees would be payable in advance via BACS or on the day in session by cash. I’m afraid that cheque payments are not possible


Accessibility

I'm afraid my practice is not wheelchair accessible. Bathroom facilites are on the first floor accessed by stairs. 


Low cost therapy

I am committed to offering personal therapy to as many people as possible. I offer some low cost sessions on a sliding scale depending on your circumstances. We can agree this at the initial consultation.


Cancellations

Once agreed, your session time is reserved for you and not available to any other client. If you are unable to attend the following cancellation fees apply:


  • Less than 72 hours – the full agreed session fee is due


Client Therapist Agreement

This willl be emailed to you once we have agreed on a time to meet. I will ask you to read and return a signed copy before we commence work together.


(please note: I review my guidelines on a regular basis and are subject to change)

First steps

Email or phone

Please get in touch via phone or email with a brief description of what you are seeking support with and to arrange an initial consultation. I am happy to call you back to discuss your situation in more detail in confidence.


Initial Consultation

This gives us an opportunity to explore what it is you need, your expectations of therapy and if I offer the right way of working for you. I will also go through my policies on confidentiality, fee payments, appointment arrangements and cancellations.  We can also discuss the amount of sessions you may want and need.
