Sessions and fees

I provide consultations, short-term (up to 8 sessions) and longer-term therapy. The length of your treatment will depend on the complexity of your difficulties and your therapeutic goals. The first session is dedicated to an initial assessment of your difficulties. In our initial assessment session we explore why you decided to pursue therapy, what are your expectations of having therapy and what you would like to achieve by the end of your therapy.

I charge £80 for both assessment and treatment individual sessions.  I charge £90 for couples therapy and also family therapy per session.  Please note that different prices apply to referral and insurance companies.  I charge £60 for clinical supervision.

One session usually last one hour and the fee can be paid at the end of each session by cheque or cash. Some clients prefer to make multi-session payments and this can be negotiated to suit your circumstances.  Many clients prefer online banking and I accept single or multi-session electronic transfer payments.  If you are unable to attend a session then notification is expected at least 24 hours in advance otherwise the full fee will be charged.  Full payment will be expected for a missed session without giving notice, unless due to exceptional circumstances. If I am unable to attend a session you will not be charged.

My current working hours are as follows: Monday and Tuesday evening  (16:30-19:00), Wednesday mornings (10-1), Friday 3-6).   Different hours may be possible to negotiate for therapy and supervision but please be advised that I have a full time NHS job and therefore my flexibility is limited outside the specified working hours.
