Availability and Fees
My standard fee is £70 for a 50-minute session of therapy. I do however offer concessionary rates based on circumstance. I ask that session fees be paid in advance, either in weekly or monthly blocks depending on what works best, and this will be reflected in the invoicing.
I offer individual counselling to adults (18+) both online and
in-person. I currently have in-person availability on Tuesday afternoons in Dalston (E8) just a couple minutes walk from Dalston Kingsland Overground Station and on Wednesday evenings in London Fields (E9) just a short walk from Homerton and London Fields Overground Stations. I also offer online counselling on Thursday mornings and afternoons.
I offer counselling on both a short-term and long-term basis. If you are interested in short-term therapy, this generally involves anywhere between 12 and 16 sessions, and if you are interested in working together on a long-term basis, this generally involves working together for 6 months to a year. I may sometimes suggest that we start with a certain number of sessions to provide some structure and containment at the beginning of our work, and then decide together whether we will extend our therapeutic work and for how long.
I also offer a free 20-minute telephone conversation before we begin working together to briefly discuss what you're looking for and to decide if we will move forward. I will then send you our therapeutic contract and a client personal information sheet for you to read through and complete/sign ahead of our first session.
Terms and Conditions
Once we have agreed to work together, we will agree on a provisional date and time for our first session and I will send you a therapeutic contract and a client personal information sheet to read through, complete, and sign. The therapeutic contract will cover key information including session time and place, confidentiality, fees, and holidays and cancellations. The intention of this document is to create a safe and contained space for our therapeutic work. The client personal information sheet will ask you to provide your full name, address, and contact details for invoicing purposes, as well as whether you give consent for a GP to be contacted for emergency purposes.
Once you have returned these documents, I will provide you with an invoice for our initial assessment session to be paid in advance. Invoicing moving forward will be carried out based on our agreement, either weekly or monthly in advance.
Our first session will be an assessment session, where we will go through the therapeutic contract together and I will ask you questions around why you’ve come to counselling, what your hopes or goals for therapy are, and a bit about your background and context. Our therapeutic work beyond this will be more exploratory and open based on what you need.
