Counselling sessions usually take place once a week although this is flexible depending on a client’s individual circumstances.
Christine offers an initial half hour session at no cost, to allow an opportunity to find out more about her approach, ask any questions and to reach a mutual agreement to enter into a formal counselling arrangement.
Introduction to Counsellor (half hour): Free
Counselling Session: £35.00 per hour (during office hours)
Counselling Session: £40.00 per hour (outwith office hours)
Couple Counselling and Family Sessions are negotiated individually.
Reduction in fees for those who are suffering financial hardship or have a low income.
This fee covers all preparation and administrative time.
If a client wishes to be visited at home or any other location, then travelling time is charged if more than 20 minutes travelling time is involved.
In some cases, for particular techniques, a therapy session requires longer than an hour (usually 2). On these occasions the session would include an additional £20 supplement for the second hour, rather than the full session fee.
Letters and reports are priced by negotiation depending on the time required.
Cancellation policy: A full 24 hours notice is required otherwise a fee of £20.00 is payable.
On occasion when the client is late, the session will finish at the scheduled time in order not to inconvenience other clients.
A client is free at any time to terminate therapy.
