Sessions & Fees
Initial Consultation
However professional or glossy a website may seem, there is no substitute for talking directly, either via secure online video link (using Zoom) or by phone, and I offer an initial consultation for this purpose. This is not a commitment to start therapy. Rather it is an opportunity for us to meet, for you to talk about your concerns and to see if you think I might be someone you could work with and for me to assess if I could help. If we decide to continue, we will then agree a regular time to meet each week.
I see people for short- term focused work or for longer – term work with no decided end date, depending on your needs. This would be discussed at our initial meeting.
Sessions
At our initial meeting either by Zoom or on the phone, we will have arranged to meet regularly (for 50 minutes) at the same time and on the same day each week. At these meetings, we will be able to establish a trusting and honest relationship, enabling you to speak of and focus on whatever is troubling you in a safe environment.
My role will not be to advise you or tell you what to do, but to listen to you and with you, think about your concerns and using my experience and training, encourage you to find lasting answers that are meaningful to you.
Fees
An initial consultation costs £75. This usually takes place over one session or, if needed, can be extended to two sessions.
My fees for a regular 50 minute weekly session vary between £75 to £100 depending on the time of day and the client's individual circumstances.
My fees are reviewed annually.
