Consultation
I offer an initial consultation which is an opportunity for both myself and my Clients to see how we would feel working together. I offer both short and long term therapy depending on how we agree which may be the best way to proceed. If we decide to continue, a regular day and time to meet would be mutually agreed. Sessions last 50 minutes and are usually weekly or fortnightly. All enquiries and consultations are treated in the strictest confidence. |
Fees
I offer an initial consultation fee of £25.00 and thereafter £40.00 per fifty minute session, £45.00 for couples and £30.00 for students. |
