Frequently Asked Questions
How much will I have to pay?My fee is £60 for an initial consultation and £55 for ongoing once-weekly work.
For more frequent sessions per week, the fee is negotiable.
I also keep some fee-reduced places for the unwaged or those on very low incomes. There may be a wait for such a place to become free.
How long will the therapy last?Time limited sessions -usually 10 to 16 sessions - may suit you.
Ongoing work is a more open-ended arrangement and may last considerably longer.
The initial consultation is an important opportunity to explore your needs in terms of what length of time is most appropriate.
Can you help me if I am not sure what is best for me?Yes,the purpose of the initial consultation is to explore with you in depth the nature of your difficulties and together,formulate a recommendation for what is the best way forward. This could include other types of therapy or support.
Can I complain?The Foundation for Psychotherapy and Counselling (FPC) is the professional organisation of which I am a member. They have a formal complaints procedure which can be easily accessed. I am also bound by their code of ethics.
