Informal session
It is important that you have a chance to meet me before you decide if I am the right therapist for you. Therefore, I offer a one off face to face informal session of 30 mins at no charge. Before this session starts all I will need is your name and contact details and we will discuss the importance of confidentiality in sessions. There is no pressure to decide there and then if you wish to continue working together.
Assessment
If you do wish to continue, then the next few sessions would involve an assessment of your needs, so that you are offered the most beneficial therapy for you.
Payment
• All sessions cost £45 for each 50-60 minute session. Depending on my availability, I may be able to offer some low cost counselling if you are on a low income. (My charges are rising to £50 on 1st January 2025)
• Payment can be made in cash, cheque, Square or by BACS/internet transfer.
• No block payments are taken.
Missed sessions
Since therapy needs to be regular, it is not possible for me to use any sessions that you miss, to see other clients. Therefore, other than pre-arranged breaks in therapy, sessions missed with no attempt to cancel or re-arrange will incur a full charge.
Cancellations
If you do need to cancel a session and you can give me 48 hours notice, then I won't charge you. If it's between 48 and 24 hours I will make a small charge to cover the room booking which I can't cancel by that time. Any less than 24 hours and you will be charged full cost of the session. Thank you for your understanding.
