book an appointment

I offer a free initial 20 minute telephone assessment session. This is to help you find out more about counselling, for me to understand what your objectives are and for us to agree a plan together. I will email confirmation of your appointment date and time and Zoom link (if applicable) along with instructions for bacs payment which will be due in advance of each session.

I am able to offer a flexible diary and can work with clients on either a time-limited or long-term basis. You will be offered a dedicated weekly or bi-monthly appointment and sessions are available during the times set out below.

Cancellations:

Sometimes, things happen that may mean you are unable to attend a booked appointment. In the counselling process, best outcomes are achieved when continuity in provision can be maintained. Please contact me as early as possible if you have to cancel – I will not charge you for cancellations, unless you give me less than 2 working days notice. With less than 2 working days notice, I will charge £25.

It may sometimes be appropriate to discuss additional or alternative support pathways with clients. I will never make a referral on your behalf without your express knowledge and permission. The only exception to this would be if you or someone else was in danger and an immediate referral to an appropriate professional was deemed necessary.

If you require a clinic or summary letter to be written for ongoing referral purposes, a charge would be made for this at my hourly rate of £60 or part thereof.
