First Session

The first session is mostly exploratory, giving you the opportunity to expand on the reasons why you are seeking counselling at this moment in your life and what you expect to get out of it. There will also be plenty of space for your questions and to discuss the practical aspects of working together such as the fee, frequency, cancellation policy, confidentiality etc., which will form the contract for all future work.

This first meeting is also about getting a feel of what counselling is like and whether it is something you would like to commit further. If you would like to go ahead, then I usually suggest that we that we initially contract for 6 sessions before deciding to extend them further.

Frequency 

Sessions take place weekly and they last 50 minutes.

Short & Long-term Counselling

I see clients for counselling both short-term (6-12 sessions) and long-term (open ended).

Fees

The fee for psychotherapy sessions are £75 per 50-minute session.

Once we’ve agreed to work together, all missed and cancelled sessions are chargeable at the full, agreed rate. Where possible, I reschedule cancelled sessions to a new appointment within the same week. I provide notice of my absences, for which no session fee is payable. All fees are subject to annual review with a 2-month notice offered before any fee increases.
