FAQs

What are your fees?

My fees are £58 per hourly video session. Payment is expected 24 hours before your session. Payment is currently via bank transfer

Do you offer any discounts for students or low income?

I understand therapy can be costly, we can discuss prices and I do have limited availability for concessions.

How often Do I have a session?

For Video sessions, usually we start with weekly or fortnightly sessions. Some clients move on to fortnightly or monthly sessions when they feel ready.

How long does therapy take to feel better?

Some clients feel they only require sessions for a short time whereas others prefer to work with me long term, I’ve always based my work on what the client needs, offering flexibility and regular reviews. I have had clients successfully using therapy on both sides of the scale, some only needing a couple of sessions and others working with me for years.

What happens if the internet cuts out?

We will have a backup form of communication we are unable to have a session, and can continue the session via another mode - for example telephone call if we cannot video call, or we can reschedule.

How is my information kept safe?

I am a member of the ICO and abide by their rules and regulations when it comes to data policies. My notes are kept offline and are securely locked away. Your personal details are kept separate from any session notes. Session notes are coded so you cannot be identified by these. You have the right to access your notes at any time and they will be stored for 7 years after your sessions finish.

You have a responsibility to ensure your devices are up to date with anti-virus and anti-malware programs, using passwords and other security measures where appropriate. Please read my data policy or feel free to contact me with questions.

What is the difference between a counsellor and a therapist?

these terms are used interchangeably by both professionals and the public, often is down to preference. I do describe myself as a counsellor and psychotherapist as that is what my qualification permits me to say.

I would describe myself as an Integrative therapist working with a variety of techniques dependent on what my client needs at that time. This eclectic approach enables me to individualise my work and provide a personalised service.

What if I cannot make a session or miss a session?

If an emergency comes up, let me know as soon as possible, but we will aim to rearrange for a time that’s convenient for us both. If you need to change a session for any reason, I ask for 24 hours notice and we will rearrange. If a session is missed without an extenuating circumstance and 24 hours notice you may be charged a late cancelation fee.
