Terms and conditions

Therapeutic process

 I carry out an initial 30 minutes free assessment interview on the phone to explore with you what you need help with and to introduce myself and explain how I work. At the end of it, if we both feel we can work together, you can then decide to make an appointment.

During the first session, we'll agree on a specific number of sessions that we'll be working together. At the end of this, we jointly assess our progress and decide whether further sessions will be helpful.

If we cannot work together wherever possible I will assist you by providing alternative contacts.

Sessions are weekly at a regular time; they last for one hour. If you are late arriving for a session we will terminate at the usual time to allow me to fulfil my other appointments for the day.

Each session costs £50 and whenever possible should be paid in advance directly to my account. 

Appointment cancelled with a 24-hour notice will be fully reimbursed. Appointment cancelled with less than 24 hours notice will be charged at £15.

Confidentiality

 I treat all information disclosed to me by you as confidential.

However, if I believe that you are in danger of harming yourself or others, or that a child is at risk, I reserve the right to inform outside agencies but would not do, wherever possible, without discussing this with you first.

If you disclose information about certain criminal or terrorist offences I have a professional obligation to tell outside agencies without informing you first.
