What happens in the first session?

The first session gives us an opportunity to talk through and assess your needs. It gives you the chance to ask any further questions you might have and to get a ‘feel’ for whether you wish to start therapy. Many people describe feeling ‘lighter’ after their first session.

How many sessions will I have?

This depends on your unique situation and will be discussed in the first session. We will work collaboratively throughout the process and whether therapy is short or long term, there will be regular points at which we will review to ensure you are getting the right help and support. As a general guideline, shorter therapy will be for more specific issues and longer therapy for deep rooted issues.

How long will sessions last?

Sessions will be 50 mins for Counselling and 60 minutes for Hypnotherapy (unless otherwise discussed and decided with you). If you are late for a session, it will still finish at the scheduled time.

Are sessions confidential?

Yes, all sessions are confidential and your privacy is of high importance. In extreme circumstances, I may have to break this if there is immediate risk of substantial harm to yourself or others. Or, if there is a legal requirement to disclose. All sessions will take place in my private therapy room.

What happens if I have to cancel a session?

You will not be charged if you give at least 24 hours’ notice.

How will I pay for sessions and how much do they cost?

Counselling: £70 per session
Relationships (2 people): £105 per session
Hypnotherapy: £85 per session

Payment should be made 24hrs in advance via bank transfer, or cash on the day. Unless otherwise discussed and an alternative agreement made.
