What To Expect

INITIAL CONSULTATION

When you contact me, either by telephone, email, or the form on this website, I will get back to you within 24 hours to arrange a time for us to meet for an initial consultation. This allows us to talk through why you might be interested in psychotherapy; it will give you the opportunity to ask any questions about the way I work, and for us to consider whether we would like to work together.

This session, like all other sessions, will last for 50 minutes. I charge £75 for this consultation. after which we come to a decision about whether to start working together.

STRUCTURE

Sessions take place on the same day and time each week; establishing a reliable pattern is very important for the work we do, though occasional rearrangements are possible where necessary.

Each session lasts for 50 minutes.

I work with patients both in person and online, and am happy to discuss which works best for you.

FEES

An initial consultation is £75. We subsequently agree on the fee for ongoing sessions, depending on income and session time. I occasionally have reduced fee openings.

I will send you an invoice at the end of each calendar month for sessions that month. Payment is by electronic bank transfer.

BREAKS

I will inform you of break dates well in advance, but these are usually at Christmas, Easter, and during August each year. Should you wish to take holiday outside these breaks, you will be expected to pay for the sessions missed as this regular time with me is dedicated for you.

IN PERSON OR ONLINE?

I am based in central South London, very close to London Bridge. In-person sessions are often preferable if you are within travelling distance. However, I am experienced at working online (usually via zoom) with patients, so if you live outside London or have a particular reason for being unable to meet in person I am happy to discuss our working together in this way.
