Cancellation policy
Please give at least 48 hours notice if you're unable to make a session. If it's possible to reschedule the session at a time convenient to us both then I'll do that, but if that's not possible then the full fee for the missed session is payable.
Accessibility :
My therapy room is on the second floor (31 steps), unfortunately there is no lift so it is not wheelchair accessible.

My fees is £80 per session (50 Minutes) and is reviewed each year in January. Payment is by bank transfer on the day of your session.
I hold a few lower fee spaces (daytime online sessions) for those on low incomes - if this applies to you then do please ask about availablity of these lower fee spaces when you first contact me. Spaces are limited.
Private Health Insurance and Employment assistance schemes
I'm an approved provider of psychotherapy and counselling for health insurers AXA, AVIVA, WPA, Healix. My fee for Health Insurance clients is £85 a session, to cover additional admin. You need to provide your Health insurance membership number and authorisation code at our first session. Please note that for some insurers you'll need to pay for each session yourself, I then provide an invoice/receipt which you present to the insurer who re-imburses you.
Please note health insurance does not cover late cancellation fees which are paid directly to me.
Employment assistance schemes (EAP) and Employer Wellbeing funds
Do check with your employer if this scheme is available in your workplace as it may cover the cost of your therapy sessions. Some employers have a Wellbeing fund which will reimburse employees for a limited number of therapy sessions, this also may be worth checking with your employer.
Ethical code
I abide by the UKCP Code of Ethics.
Confidentiality
Sessions are completely confidential except under three circumstances. 1) If I believe you are at risk of harming yourself or others, I may need to break confidentiality in order to prevent harm. This would only happen in extreme circumstances and I'd try to discuss it first with you before taking any action. 2) It's standard practice for all psychotherapists to discuss their work with a clinical supervisor, from time to time, this helps me to work as well as I can with you (my supervision meetings are bound by the same code of ethics and confidentiality as I am). 3) If required by a court of law to give evidence (e.g., in criminal proceedings).
GDPR
As required by the The General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR), my practice is registered with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).
