Availability, fees and terms
Availability
I'm sorry but I have no availability for new clients at present (July 2024).
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 for yourself it's important to committ to attending your session every week.
Accessibility :
My room is on the second floor (31 steps), unfortunately there is no lift so it is not wheelchair accessible.
Fees
Fees are £80 per session (50 Minutes). 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 please ask about availablity of these spaces when you first contact me.
Private Health Insurance and Employment assistance schemes
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. Please bring your Health provider membership number and authorisation code to your first session. Let me know if your health insurance covers the full session fee or you will be paying a contribution towards this directly to me (membership contribution).
Please note health insurance (AXA, EAP etc) does not cover late cancellation fees. So if you give less than 48 hours notice of cancellation then you need to pay the full fee for the missed session 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.
Cancellation policy
Please give at least 48 hours' notice of cancelling a session otherwise the full fee for the missed session is charged.
