Fees for Talking therapies

Initial session: I offer an initial free 20 minute session to briefly explore what is on your mind. There will be opportunity to ask questions to help you decide what your next step might be. There is no obligation to continue thereafter.

Assessment session: If you feel you would like us to work together, the second session is an assessment of your needs and making sure you get the most out of the counselling process. This involves taking a deeper look at your concern and what you hope to gain from counselling. It will help you get a feeling for what counselling involves and together we can decide the best way forward. It’s also an opportunity to discuss the practicalities such as day, time, fees and commitment. I will keep you fully informed regarding therapeutic approach and confidentiality and we will take a look at the counselling agreement together.

Should we decide that your presenting problem could be better served by another therapy, therapist or psychological service. I can arrange a referral or signpost you accordingly.

Individual sessions: The assessment will inform us where and how we focus and how many sessions are appropriate. There will be regular reviews of your progress. Each sessions last 50-60 minutes (60 minutes for CBT)

Reduced fees (honesty basis):  I have a limited number of reduced fee places for those on low incomes.
Reduced rates are offered to counselling students completing their personal therapy requirements.
