Terms and Conditions
At the initial appointment, we will decide together whether mine is the right approach. Where it isn't (say where a more specialist approach is indicated), I will endeavour to help you find this. If we decide to go ahead, then a regular, weekly appointment can be made for the same time each week. Sometimes, demands of work and irregular working patterns mean that I have to be more flexible. However, where possible, a time is set aside for that particular session and it is not offered to anyone else. In order to maintain professional standards, I limit the amount of clients I see each week. Counselling/psychotherapy requires a commitment to the process from both the therapist and the client. Attending regular sessions will give us the best chance of working to attain and maintain improvement. Making a regular space in the week to reflect upon the things that really matter to you is about making a commitment to yourself and to improving your situation.
Referrals
I am able to take referrals from private individuals, as well as from Psychiatrists, GP's and other health professionals.
Employee support is available, by arrangement, with commercial businesses.
