Frequently Asked Questions
How do I pick a therapist? ...
The essential ingredient for success of working with a therapist is the relationship and working alliance that you both create. I recommend you take some time exploring the options, researching and seeing what seems right. There is a comprehensive guide available from the BACP Website, you'll find this under the key facts for clients section.
How long will it take? ...
The length of time can be agreed at assessment. It could be short 6 - 8 weeks, mid 8 - 26 weeks or open ended. The time frame is kept in mind and reviewed if necessary.
How much will it cost? ....
My standard fee is £50 per therapy hour (50 minutes). I can offer reduced rates to students and clients on low income.
What about ending?..
It is best if this is set by you. We will discuss and agree the end of our work, ensuring that you have sufficient time to think about and process it.
How often will we meet? ...
We meet once a week on the same day and at an allocated time.
What happens if I can't come? ...
We can reschedule the appointment if that is possible. A full rate cancellation fee will be charged if less than 24 hours notice is given and half rate fee charged outside of that period. Planned holidays (up to 4 weeks p.a.) are excluded.
