Sessions last 50 minutes. They are normally on the  same day and time each week. We will arrange this when we meet at the first session.

£40- £80   i offer special rates to people in low income and students. The fees for these clients are £25 _ £30.

 

Initial assessment is £30.

 

How many sessions?

We will meet for a initial assessment and if we both agree to work together we will meet for further 6 sessions. After we will review the process and we will decide if we want to work open ended.

 

Missed sessions

Any cancellations should be given 48 h notice. For any missed or cancelled sessions with less than 48h the full fee for that session will need to be paid at the following session.

 

Holidays

I will give you 3 weeks notice for any holidays i will take and I will expect you to do the same.

 

Confidentiality

Our work is confidential and i adhere to the BACP ethical framework. The only time i will break confidentiality is when you will dislcose you are having thoughts of harming yourself or other people. In that case and only in consultation with you i might contact your GP.

 

Endings

You can end sessions at any time but i will suggest at least two sessions to address any unresolved issues.
