Fees
I charge £60-£80 a session (I offer concessions on a sliding scale).
Individual sessions are 50 minutes in duration.
I offer a no-charge initial 15 minute telephone conversation to answer questions you may have about me or my practice. On this occasion you and I can also talk about arranging an initial assessment session. In the assessment session I will ask you to explain your current difficulties in more detail and you and I can explore what aims you may have and changes you are hoping to make through therapy. Therapy can be a long process of weekly sessions for several years; I can also work with more short-term or specific issues, or crisis needs which can be more short-term.
