Sessions and Fees

I am offering open ended sessions which will take place at the same time on a weekly basis. Each session will last 50 minutes. The fee for each session (payable on the day) is £60 per one-person session and £80 per couples' session. If you wish to cease counselling, you may do so at any time, but I ask that we meet for at least one final session to allow for a proper ending.

Ethical Commitment

I am a registered MBACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) MA qualified Psychodynamic Counsellor and Psychotherapist. I am bound by its code of ethics and practice. I am committed to providing a safe therapeutic environment for my clients and I am covered by professional insurance.

Confidentiality and Records

All information shared with me is treated in strict confidence and in compliance with GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation). Exceptions to this are if disclosure is required by a court of law or if I feel that you or others are at risk of serious harm. Where possible, I would do this in discussion with yourself beforehand. I make brief notes (which do not give your identity) and these are kept in a locked filing cabinet. I discuss my work in regular supervision, but again, the identity of my clients is not disclosed.

Cancellation

If you are unable to attend your appointment, I would appreciate 48 hours' notice. If you cancel with less than 24 hours' notice, the full fee will be payable. If I am unable to attend a session, I will give you as much notice as possible and offer an alternative time.
