Practicalities of Therapy

Working Together

If you’re interested in working together or have any questions, please get in touch via the contact section. I will then be able to offer a free 15 minute telephone or online consultation to discuss what you are looking for and see if I would be a good match. If we agree we would like to work together, we can then book in an initial appointment.

It is difficult to predict in advance how many sessions may be needed. Some pieces of work may be short-term and involve a small number of sessions, whereas others may be long-term and involve a greater number of sessions. This depends on what you are looking for from therapy, your goals and the complexity of the difficulties you are experiencing. The number of sessions will be discussed during the early stages of therapy, and we can either agree on a set number of sessions, or blocks of sessions with regular reviews, or it can be more open-ended – depending on what works best for you

Session Information

  • Sessions are charged at £100 per hour and payment is made prior to the session. Registered with most major insurers including Bupa, Aviva, AXA and Vitality.

  • It is politely requested that 48 hours notice is given wherever possible if you would like to change or rearrange a session. It is understood that sometimes sudden events, such as emergencies, happen, that may make it necessary for clients to cancel their appointment last minute. On these occasions it is at the therapist’s discretion if a fee will be charged. Equally, the therapist will endeavour to give you as much notice as possible if, in the unlikely event, that a session needs to be cancelled due to sickness.
