Services and agreements

initial session

The initial session is a longer meeting of up to 90 minutes for which I charge £45. This session provides an opportunity for you to talk about what is troubling you at present that has led you to seek counselling. It is also the stage at which I can ask some standard questions about you and explain the agreement we will have for our work together. Finally, we can experience what working together might be like and will provide the opportunity to decide if we are the right 'fit'.

counselling room sessions

The majority of my work is undertaken in my own counselling room. I charge £60 for a standard 50-minute session. I also offer some sessions at lower cost to meet an individual's circumstances.

walking sessions

The walking sessions are also 50 minutes long and in advance we will have agreed where we will meet and various other matters about route, pace and dealing with meeting other people. I charge £60 for these sessions.

AGREEMENT

The counselling work I do with clients is covered by an agreement that sets out practical details including timing of sessions, location, fees, payment and cancellation as well as dealing with issues of confidentiality, data protection and complaints. I will run through this document at the initial session.
