Session timing and frequency
Psychotherapy and Counselling usually takes place weekly in a session lasting 55 minutes. occasionally sessions, particularly those for couples can take place more or less frequently and/or longer sessions can be negotiated in advance.
The initial session
In the initial session I can tell you more about the way I work and you can say what leads you to consider Counselling & Psychotherapy. From this we can decide whether we will work with one another.
Fees
My full fee per session is £60 and I appreciate that not everyone will find that affordable. So as to make my work available to more people, I offer that you can pay between £60-£20. How much you pay is based on trust, not on a means test. However I may discuss your fee amount with you if you seem to paying significantly more or less than you can afford.
The fee is payable in cash or cheque at each session.
Corporate-paid clients will be charged at a higher rate
