Appointments and Fees
What happens in the first session?
I offer sessions online, by phone and in-person from two locations - Islington, London and Fleet, Hampshire. When we first meet you have the opportunity to discuss what is going on for you. We will agree things like how many sessions you will have, what you want to get out of counselling and talk through issues like confidentiality and how I work when risk of harm to self or to others is present.
I am currently offering the first session for £25. The first session is 40 - 50 minutes long, following sessions are usually 50 minutes. It's important to find a counsellor you feel comfortable working with. This could involve finding out more about them and how they work. Deciding whether you want to work with me is an important part of the first session. It is also a time for me to check that I am the best professional to support you.
If we decide to work together, I will ask you to complete a form which asks for information like your contact details, as well as information about your life, alongside space for you to say in your own words, what you hope for from counselling. I will also ask you to sign a consent document which includes how I look after your data, how I protect your confidentiality (and the limits to confidentiality), how I work with risk to self or others and my cancellation policy.
How many sessions will I need?
Counselling appointments are normally weekly and are fifty minutes long. How many sessions you need is something that will be agreed in the initial session and reviewed during future appointments. Counselling can be short term focused to specific issues or changes. It can also be more long term as you explore and understand deeper issues and patterns.
Location and fees
My fee range is £40 - £70.
I strongly believe that therapy should not only be accessible to high earners. This means that at all times I offer some sessions at a concessionary rate to people with limited financial resources including students and those receiving benefits. Please let me know if you think you qualify for a reduced fee rate.
Payment is made by bank transfer and I will provide you with my details once we agree to work together.
In-person sessions in Fleet are at my comfortable and private room based in Fleet Osteopathic Clinic and Therapy Centre, 6 Kings Road, Fleet, GU51 3AD.
I like to be upfront about my cancellation policy - if you need to cancel a booked appointment then I ask for one week's notice. If you are working with me and cancel with less than 7 day's notice then you will need to pay for the session you are unable to attend. This includes times when you need to cancel because of being sick.
