What happens at the first session?
I would always encourage people to telephone or email to have a brief conversation (no fee) to determine whether you would like to book an assessment appointment.
During the first session I would seek to establish what your needs are and discuss together how therapy may address these needs.
How long will I require therapy for?
People often wish to know how many sessions are required which is understandable. In many cases when we have met and fully assessed your needs I will be able to provide an estimate on the number of sessions based on recommended guidelines. It is important to realise that therapy is an individual process with no two people being the same and therefore the number of sessions is an estimate; some people require less and some may require additional appointments. I would, of course, plan and discuss this with you and consider finances as required.
What is the cost of a session?
The cost of a session is £90 for a one hour appointment.
What happens to the information you hold about me?
All your information is confidential. The only time information may be shared is if I am concerned about someone and this is discussed prior to the first appointment. Your data is stored in accordance with current data protection laws. My privacy policy is available below.
