How do I book?

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.

Covid Safety

The government has removed remaining domestic restrictions in England. There are still steps we can take to reduce the risk of catching and spreading COVID-19.

  • Please do not attend the clinic if you have Covid. I offer zoom sessions if you feel well enough. Please refer to the cancellation policy on the appointments page

  • I am up to date with all vaccinations and booster doses

  • In clinic – masks if preferred, ventilation, sanitiser

How much will a session cost?

50 minute sessions cost £60

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 £30.

Referrals

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.
