Availability, fees and terms
Availability
Please contact me for current availability, please note my face to face sessions are on Mondays. Online sessions are Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
Confidentiality
Sessions are confidential. I follow the UKCP Code of Ethics.
Weekly appointments
If you decide you'd like to continue with therapy after the initial session (see What is Counselling/Psychotherapy?) then we usually arrange to meet for weekly sessions at the same time/day. We can either meet for a limited number of sessions (e.g. 6-10) or longer term - the decision is up to you. For the best outcome it's important to attend your session every week.
Accessibility :
The building has step free access with a lift.
Fees
£70 per session (50 minutes).
Payment is due by bank transfer on the day of each session.
I hold a few lower fee spaces (daytime online sessions only) for those on low incomes.
Private Health Insurance and Employment assistance schemes
The fee per session for those paying by health insurance or EAP is £75. I'm an approved provider of psychotherapy and counselling for:
AXA
AVIVA
Cigna
Vitality
If you're registered with one of these health insurers and your cover includes counselling/psychotherapy then I can invoice them for your sessions. At the first session I will need your Health provider membership number and authorisation code. Please let me know if your health insurance covers the full session fee (£75) or you will be paying a contribution directly to me (membership contribution).
Please note health insurance (AXA, EAP etc) does not cover payment for cancelled sessions, so if you give less than 48 hours notice of cancellation (see cancellation policy below) then the full fee for the missed session is paid to me directly by yourself.
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.
Cancellation policy
If you give less than 48 hours' notice of cancelling a session then the full fee for the missed session is charged.
