About Me.
I offer an initial consultation at a reduced rate. This time is used to go over your reason for coming to counselling, and you can ask any questions to decide if we would work well together. I also fill out a short form. It lasts for 40 minutes and is charged at £25.
Sessions after this are £45 for 1 hour.
​
If you want to pay in advance for a 6 week block, I offer this at a discounted rate of £240 for hour long sessions.
​
People usually attend counselling weekly, however some prefer two weekly sessions, it's completely up to you. You can either attend at the same day and time each week, or varied.
Cost
Cancellation Policy
- Payments must be made the day prior to your session, preferably by bank transfer, unless otherwise agreed.
- If payment is not made prior to your session, I will send a gentle reminder via email or text. The session will be postponed until the payment has been made.
- If you are unable to attend a pre booked session, I ask for 24 hours notice.
- If a cancellation is not made 24 hours prior to the appointment time, then the full fee will be charged.
- If I do not hear from you for 7 days after a missed session, the counselling will be stopped and you will be charged the full amount for the session you have missed.
- If you are late for a session, I will wait for 10 minutes. If you do not arrive I will contact you to rearrange.
​
Confidentiality
Everything discussed during sessions is kept confidential, however if I have a safeguarding concern, I am obliged by law to pass on information to the relevant authorities. This includes if I believe that a client or others are at risk of harm, or if a court instructs me to provide information. If I feel that there is a risk of harm, I will discuss my decision to break confidentiality. However, if the situation is urgent, I retain the right to break confidentiality without prior consultation with a client.
