STARTING THERPAY

Practical information about working together.

I want things to feel clear, straightforward and comfortable from the start. Here you’ll find information about fees, appointments, cancellations and support available if you need it.

Fees & working togetherCounselling is a collaborative process. These agreements help us create the consistency and safety that therapy needs to be effective.

Fees

Counselling sessions last 50 minutes and the price is from £70 per session, depends of the location.
A small number of concessionary spaces are available on request.
Payment should be made 24 hours in advance prior to your session via bank transfer to secure your place.
I review my fees on a yearly basis and will give you one calendar month’s notice of any proposed increase.

Working together

We usually meet weekly or fortnightly at an agreed time, date and place.
I offer short and long term therapy. We can discuss the planed duration during consultation or during the first session.
We will review your progress usually at session six and after at agreed intervals.

Cancellation policy

I require 48 hours notice if you need to cancel or rearrange your session.

Sessions cancelled with less than 48 hours notice, including illness or unexpected events, will be charged at the full session fee.

Either of us can end counselling at any point once any outstanding fees are paid in full.

Emergency supportIf you or anyone around you are in immediate danger, please seek emergency help rather than waiting for a counselling appointment.
