Sessions

Sessions are by appointment only, although I am usually able to arrange a session at reasonably short notice.  

Each session is approximately 50 minutes to one hour in duration (with the exception of smoking cessation, which is approximately two to three hours). Some clients prefer longer or shorter sessions, which may be possible in certain circumstances.

Generally sessions are held at my consulting room in Rickmansworth, although home visits may be possible in certain circumstances.

Appointments are available during the day, in the evening and at the weekend.

Intervals between sessions are mutually agreed. Generally the interval will be no less than one week and many clients only require sessions every two to four weeks or, indeed, on an ad hoc basis.

Fees

Fees are charged at a rate of £50 per session (with the exception of smoking cessation). A concessionary rate is available but only in exceptional circumstances. Smoking cessation costs £150 for a single two to three hour session. (Includes a free one hour booster session if required.)

Clients are asked to pay by cash or debit/credit card* on the day. Regrettably cheques are no longer accepted since the demise of cheque guarantee cards.

Please give 24 hours notice if you are unable to attend your appointment. Cancellations after this will be subject to full payment for that session.

* I accept Visa Credit Card, Visa Debit, Mastercard Credit Card, Debit Mastercard, Electron, Maestro International, Commercial Cards, JCB  

Confidentiality

What is discussed in sessions is confidential and I would not normally give details about you to anyone else, except where I have reason to believe that someone is at serious risk of harm.
 

Free initial consultation

Successful counselling owes much to the relationship between client and counsellor. For this reason, I recommend that you have an initial consultation with me. The consultation lasts for quarter of an hour and gives you a no obligation chance to meet me, discuss your concerns and decide if you would like to continue working with me. If you then want to continue, we will go straight into a full session (for which you will be charged a full session fee); if you decide that this is not for you, you will be free to leave at no cost.
