Sessions
- Frequency – Sessions are one to one, usually on a weekly basis on the same day and at the same time each week. I also work on a fortnightly basis with some clients.
- Number of sessions – this varies and is always up to you to decide. Some clients have a few sessions while others may want more long term therapy, there is no set number. However, for therapeutic reasons, I would recommend at least six sessions.
- Availability – Day time appointments are available between 8am and 5pm on weekdays.
- Coronavirus and working online – You do not need to be a ‘techy’ to work online, all you need is a computer with a webcam and microphone. However, when working remotely it is important that clients have a room that is private and where they will not be interrupted.
- I use a consulting room at my home in Walsham-le-Willows (IP31).
Fees
My fees are £55 per session. I offer a limited number of concession places for people on limited income and for trainee counsellors. Sessions are for 1 hour. The first session is a no obligation assessment session where we can meet each other and talk about the issues and concerns that have brought you to counselling. There is no need for you to decide during this session whether you wish to proceed with counselling or not. This first session will be at the reduced rate of £45.00.
My concession rate for trainee counsellors is £45 for a session.
Policies
Confidentiality Agreement
All sessions are confidential. During the initial assessment session I will discuss the confidentiality agreement with you.
Cancellation Policy
I understand that there may be the need to cancel sessions from time to time due to holidays, illness or other commitments. I would ask that you give 24 hours notice of any cancellations.
