Understanding the Psychotherapy Process
Once you reach out to me, the first step will be to arrange a brief 10-15 minute phone conversation at no charge. You can contact me via mobile phone, email, or by filling out the form in the CONTACT ME section, and I will respond within the next working day. If it feels appropriate, we will then schedule an initial consultation, either in-person or online, where we will delve into your concerns and explore whether psychodynamic therapy is the right path for you. The decision to start therapy is a significant commitment, and this initial consultation will provide you with an insight into what our therapy sessions will be like as we work together.
Fees
My fees vary according to venue and are agreed upon during the initial consultation and before our first therapy sessions. Ongoing fees are invoiced at the end of each calendar month. I am recognised by the following Health Insurances: Axa Health, Aviva Health, and Vitality Health.
Therapy sessions
Sessions, which last 50 minutes, will have an ongoing fee agreed upon during the initial consultation. Typically, these therapy sessions will occur on the same day and at the same time each week. This regularity and consistency in the timing of the sessions is a vital aspect of the psychodynamic therapy process, fostering a safe therapeutic experience that you can rely on. Sessions can be structured as either short term, with a pre-agreed number of sessions, or open-ended.
