More Info
As with any arrangements involving reciprocal responsbillity it is useful to have a few ground rules. I purposely don't have many, as the therapeutic relationship is one of trust. However a few mutually agreed boundaries can help facilitate that trust so, for clarity, here they are; along with some other information you may find useful.
Concessions
I am able to offer concessions based on need and would be more than willing to discuss this. Bringing up issues around money can be difficult but please feel free to ask and we can talk it through.
Venues
The Therapy rooms I use are clean, comfortable and professionally maintained.I would ask that when arriving, leaving and during your session you treat them and any staff you encounter with respect and care. Some provide parking and there are links below to their locations, should you need them.
​
If you would prefer our sessions to be online I use Microsoft Teams. You can find all the information about what you'll need by clicking the link below.
Contract and Cancellation
Session duration and frequency
Our sessions will occur weekly and last for 50 minutes. The sessions are not limited and will run until either you or I, but hopefully both of us, feel that a natural conclusion has been reached.
Confidentiality
I aim to provide a safe, confidential space for you to discuss your feelings. Nothing you say will be discussed outside of therapy without your prior permission except under exceptional circumstances. Examples include supervision, the requirements of a court of law, or the threat of severe physical harm to you or others. If I need to consider breaching confidentiality, I will endeavour to discuss this with you before taking further action.
These exceptions will be discussed fully in your first session and I will be happy to answer any questions you have.
​​​
Insurance
I hold professional liability and personal indemnity insurance. Copies of these documents can be made available to you upon request.
​​
Payment, lateness and cancellation
Payment is by bank transfer and is due on receipt of invoice. Payment details are provided with the invoice.
​
Lateness cannot be accomodated and sessions will start and end at the agreed time. Late arrival will not extend the session.
​
Should you be unable to attend I will always try and accomodate you at another time, as my schedule allows, although this may not always be possible. Cancellation requires 48 hours notice and late cancellation will incur the full session fee.
