I work with both couples and individuals.  Counselling and Psychotherapy sessions are for one hour weekly, unless otherwise agreed.  I aim to be as flexible as possible with appointments, but when you come to see me you can expect :

Appointments
  • An initial appointment to discuss your situation and to decide whether therapy is right for you.
  • A regular weekly session of 1 hour for as many (or few) times as needed.
  • Confidentiality strictly maintained.
  • Evening appointments if necessary.
My hours of work are : 8.45pm - 9pm Monday to Thursday; 8.45am - 5pm Friday.


Fees
  • Individual Psychotherapy and Counselling - £40.00 per hour session.
  • Couple Psychotherapy and Counselling - £50.00 per hour session.
  • Individual Supervision - £40.00 per hour session.
All fees are payable at each appointment by cash or cheque, unless otherwise agreed.


Cancellations
  • Full fees are chargeable if appointments are cancelled with less than 24 hours notice.  (If appointments are cancelled by me, there will of course be no charge).
  • Late arrivals will also be charged and the session will finish at the original booked time.
  • No fee will be charged for pre-arranged holidays.
  • If you need to re-arrange an appointment, I will do so where possible.

Confidentiality

Your identity and records remain confidential to the therapeutic relationship, with one exception.  I will contact your GP, Social Services or the Police, as appropriate, if I believe you are in danger of harming yourself or others.  I will consult you prior to involving others wherever possible.
