​APPOINTMENTS
Sessions are 50 minutes long and cannot be extended beyond the agreed start and finish times. If you arrive late we will still finished at the agreed time. As I do not have a waiting area please wait until your session start time before knocking on my door.

FEES
My standard fee is £50 per session. Concessions on fees may be offered based on your income. We will discuss this and agree a rate at your initial consultation. Fees are payable on the day of your session by cash, cheque or online bank transfer. Fees are reviewed annually in April.

CANCELLATION
There will be no charge for cancellations made more than 48hours before your session. The full fee will be due for cancellations made within 48hours of your session. I will seek to give you as much notice as possible for my planned absences. In the event of myself cancelling a session at short notice I may be able to offer you an alternative time slot, depending on availability.

CONFIDENTIALITY
Counselling is governed by strict rules of confidentiality and any personal details I am required to keep will be stored securely at all times. Everything you share with me is confidential and will not be disclosed to anybody else unless: (1) You provide me with your consent to do so in writing; (2) I feel you present a risk to yourself or others; (3) Disclosure is required by law, As far as possible any disclosure would be made in consultation with you.
In line with BACP requirements I receive regular supervision for my clinical work during which I discuss my client work in an anonymous manner.

ETHICAL FRAMEWORK FOR GOOD PRACTICE
I work within the BACP Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions. Details can be found at WWW.BACP.CO.UK including a complaints procedure.

ENDING THERAPY
However long we work together it is important that counselling is not ended abruptly and without the opportunity to think about ‘Why now?’ and the work we have undertaken. For this reason, if we decide to discontinue meeting there is a requirement for a minimum of one week’s notice so we can plan an ending session in which we can round off our work properly. Should you choose not to attend this session payment is still required.
