Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How frequent are my sessions?
A. Counselling sessions are weekly or sometimes fortnightly. We can arrange to have it at the same date and time or I can be flexible to suit your needs. The session length is 50 minutes.
Q. When do I pay?
A. You can pay by cash, cheque or bank transfer at the end of each session, in advance of the session. My fee is £50 per session for counselling and this may increase pro-rata if the session goes to 1½ hours with EMDR.
Q. What happens at the first session?
A. I do have some paperwork that I have to complete to meet with the BACP guidelines, and I ask a few questions. I take notes in the first session to clarify things in my mind, but after the few questions, I hand the session over to you. Sometimes Clients don't know where to start but with gentle prompting or sometimes just sitting quietly for a while, often gives you the space to say what you need to say and be heard.
Q. Cancellation
A. If you cancel the session within twenty four hours of the date/time, the full session fee will be payable please.
