Fees and Payments

Psychotherapy and Counselling Fees: £85 for 50 minute weekly sessions.

Energy Therapy or Healing Sessions: £125.00 for a 90 minute session.

Trainee therapist rates are available – please enquire.

I offer limited concessionary rates - please enquire.

What to expect: After the initial consultation has taken place and we agree to work together, I will send you a written agreement to sign detailing the weekly appointment time, weekly or monthly fee, payment terms, etc.

Progress: It is recognised that people can sometimes feel worse before they feel better and it can be hard to see progress. Please remember this and don't assume that a difficult patch means failure. Indeed, this is the time to explore further what is going on and to trust the process.

Endings: All therapy comes to an end. In general, it is most beneficial for this to be mutually decided rather than taken as an impulsive action. If either you or I feel that it is time to close the therapy we will discuss this and agree a period of time during which to finish our work together. Where the work extends beyond 12 weeks, I recommend at least three weeks’ notice to allow ourselves a proper conclusion. Endings can be challenging but counselling offers a safe place to explore that which we find difficult to face.

Contracts and Cancellations

Following our initial meeting if we contract to work together please be aware of the following guidelines to support your process.

• The fee is part of our agreement for your allocated therapy session; this is allocated to you and cannot be transferred to anyone else. The therapeutic process continues even when you are not able to attend, so I require 3 days notice of any cancellation. The full fee will be charged for any cancellation with less than 3 days notice. (An appointment can be re-scheduled at no charge if a mutually convenient time is available within the same week).

• I will do my best to give you as much notice as possible of my holidays or time away and I request that you do the same.

• I usually update my fees every 12 months; please let me know if you experience difficulty in paying as life circumstances can change.

• I request that you arrive no more than 2 minutes early as there is no waiting room.

• Attend sessions free of alcohol and recreational drugs.
