Online sessions

I offer online sessions for adults by using Zoom, an established and secure video communication platform. Our sessions will last for one hour and will normally take place weekly or - if preference, time and finance dictate - fortnightly. We will discuss what you want from our sessions and keep this, together with the number and frequency of sessions, under review during our work together.

Initial online appointment

We will first meet online for an initial one hour appointment to help you decide whether you would like to proceed. This can be a good time to discuss what brings you to counselling and/or one-to-one mindfulness training.  It is also a valuable time for us to discuss any expectations you may have and get a sense of what it would be like to work together.

Confidentiality

The content of our sessions is confidential. The only exceptions are if I am concerned about you harming yourself or another; or if in my opinion there is a child protection issue. I am also legally required to report any involvement in or knowledge of serious criminal activity, including terrorism, drug trafficking, money laundering. 

Availability

I offer daytime appointments between 10am and 6.30pm on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. My last appointment time starts at 5.30pm.

Fees

If I haven’t worked with you before, I offer a discounted fee of £30 for the initial appointment. All other individual sessions are £50 and last an hour. Fees are payable by advanced bank transfer or Paypal.

Cancellations

If you can’t attend a session or you change your mind wanting counselling, I’d appreciate it if you would let me know as soon as possible. If you don’t attend or cancel with less than 24 hours’ notice I will normally charge for the session unless we can reschedule during the week. I will however be as fair as I can be if you cancel or miss an appointment due to an emergency (especially in the current Covid pandemic). I hope, in turn, you can be equally fair towards me and what is my livelihood.
