First steps
I can be reached by mobile phone, email or by filling in the form in the CONTACT ME section, to which I will respond within the next working day. We will then engage in a brief (10-15 minute) phone conversation. If it feels appropriate, we will then schedule an initial face-to-face or online consultation where we will discuss things in depth and consider together if therapy seems to be the right way forward.
initial consultation
The decision to start therapy is an important commitment. This initial consultation will give you a flavour of what it would be like working together and it might sometimes be felt that an extended consultation is needed before deciding whether to commit to ongoing therapeutic work. The fee for this initial consultation is £100 for individuals and £140 for couples. Ongoing fees are agreed during the initial consultation and are invoiced at the end of each calendar month.
Therapy sessions
Ongoing sessions are 50 minutes long and the ongoing fee will be agreed during the first consultation. The sessions will usually take place at the same day and time every week.
Therapy is at the same time each week, and this is agreed with you before therapy begins.This regularity and consistency in the session times is an important aspect of the therapy process and for building a positive therapeutic experience. Sessions can be either short term (pre-agreed number of sessions) or open-ended.
