What to Expect
Initial consultation
Talking about personal concerns can be difficult, so it is important that you find a therapist who you feel comfortable with. An initial consultation, lasting 50 minutes, allows time for you to bring your concerns, and for us to think together about your situation. As well as discussing your current circumstances, we will consider your background(s), including some family and relationship histories, in order to get a fuller picture of your situation. The consultation also affords ample opportunity for your questions. Together, we will see if I am the right person to help you.
Sessions
Following the initial assessment, if the decision is to proceed with regular therapy, we will agree a mutually convenient time for weekly sessions. These regular sessions are once a week and last for 50 minutes.
I use Zoom, a secure web-based video platform, to conduct therapy sessions online. Zoom is reliable and straightforward to use.
Fees
My fees reflect my specialist training in relationship psychotherapy for couples and individuals, as well as my experience. Consultations and regular sessions are charged at the same rate. Fees range between £85 and £120 per session. The fee will be agreed during the consultation.
Cancellations
Because the appointment time is reserved for you every week, missed sessions will be chargeable. Where possible, and with enough notice, I will endeavour to reschedule a session, however this cannot be guaranteed.
Confidentiality
All sessions, including the consultation, are confidential. Only in the very rare event of risks to the safety of yourself or others might I need to share information with third parties. Please see my privacy policy in the footer for more information.
