What to expect
You can expect a safe environment where you will not be judged.
You will work at your own pace and I will aim to adapt each session to suit your needs.
You can choose to tell me as much or as little as you want, or even remain silent at times, and we will take it from there. I will not give you advice or tell you what to do. My role is to support you in your own journey to help you find the answers you are looking for.
Duration of sessions
The first session will last 60 minutes and it will be slightly more structured. I may ask you some questions to determine what brings you to therapy. I will also give you an Agreement that explains the Terms and Conditions of our work together.
I normally see clients on a weekly basis and sessions last 50 minutes; however, if you need to see me more or less often, this is something we will negotiate together.
Lifespan Integration (LI) therapy works slightly differently and sessions tend to last 60 minutes. I normally combine LI with talking therapy.
Fees
Fees are payable in advance by bank transfer.
Some slots are available at reduced rates (low income only) on a first-come first-serve basis.
| £55 for 50 minutes session | £65 for 60 minutes session | Reduced rate - £50 for 50 minutes session | Reduced rate - £60 for 60 minutes session |
Cancellation policy
If you need to cancel or reschedule your session I ask to be given at least 24 hours' notice . Failure to do so will mean that I have to charge for the missed session in order to cover my costs.
Approach
I practice an Integrative style of counselling. This means that I may use different techniques from different modalities to tailor an individual approach for you. However, the key factor is the therapeutic relationship itself, being based on trust.
I also offer Lifespan Integration therapy, which is particularly suited for trauma or attachment issues. You can find more information about Lifespan Integration on wwww.lifespanintegration.uk
You will soon know if I am the right therapist for you. I would strongly encourage you to always choose a therapist you can trust and can connect with.
