What is Involved The first session is used to explore the possible working arrangements and fundamentally to see if we both feel that it would be appropriate to work together. It is important that you feel right about your choice of therapist, so at this initial stage, we discuss what might be involved in sessions, your needs and whether what I bring will meet them. There is no fee for this initial consultation.
If there is an agreement to work together then we discuss the details. Generally, it is suggested that sessions are weekly and last for approximately one hour. After an agreed time usually six weeks there is a review and any subsequent arrangements agreed.
Each individual brings difference both in who they are and the issues they bring therefore there is no prescribed planned programme, instead there is a flexible approach based on your needs and resources.
What I charge At present, I charge £50.00 per session with no fee for the initial consultation. This can be paid session by session or in a block.
There is an opportunity to discuss fees and the management of costs.
I am registered with Aviva as a recognised Counsellor and Psychotherapist.
