Therapy
Because I see it again and again, I passionately believe, talking to an experienced counsellor in a safe and trusting, non-judgmental relationship can bring greater understanding and change for the better. I work integratively, meaning that I draw upon different therapies that I have been trained in. If you’d like to know more about my training, please feel free to see About Me.
Frequently asked question
& Fees
Fees
What do you charge?
​
​
£75 individuals, £95 couples for a 50-minute session between 9am - 5pm.
£90 individuals, £110 couples for a 50-minute session outside 9am - 5pm.
​
​
How do I pay?
​
Whichever method is easiest for you.
Most people pay me by electronic bank transfer, for which I give you details when we book our first appointment. But cash or cheque is fine too.
I send receipts for each payment.
​
​
When do I pay?
​
Some people pay months in advance. I ask you to pay monthly at least 24 hours before each session.
Where & when
Where do you work?
​
What times can you see me?
​
Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays 8am – 7pm. Sessions are weekly and 50 minutes long.
​
​
What if I need to cancel or miss a session?
​
I ask for 24 hours’ notice, otherwise the full charge is payable. I try to offer an alternative if you can't make our usual session.
Sessions
How many sessions do I/we need?
​
I have worked successfully with some people in short-term focussed therapy for as little as 4 sessions but most people come for longer, with many choosing to work long-term.
​
​
Can I see you alone and then with my partner?
​
Yes I can see couples individually; I can’t see one client alone more than 4 times without then also seeing their partner.
Obviously for individual counselling I see you alone, but if you decide you’d like someone else to join you, the same rule applies: I can’t see that person with you unless I’ve only seen you individually 4 times or fewer.
​
​
What happens in a session?
​
We explore areas that are troubling you. I don’t tell you what to do but rather help you find new ways of dealing with problems. See the Therapy page for more details.
