Fees and Sessions
Beginning therapy can feel like a scary step to take and you may feel unsure about whether it is right for you. For this reason the introductory session that I offer is an opportunity to discover if therapy is right for you and I am the right therapist for you. If we decide to work together I charge my usual fee at the end of this session. If we don't agree to work together there is no charge.
After the introductory session, all sessions last for 50 minutes and my charges are as follows:
I have a small number of concessionary rate places available each week for those who are on low incomes. Please contact me if you think you may be eligible for one of these places. Concessionary places are currently full.
All fees are subject to annual review (the next review will be in March 2020)

If your work or other commitments prevent you from attending at a regular day and time I'll do my best to accommodate your needs but whether this is possible will depend on the issues you are bringing to therapy as well as my schedule at the time.
