FAQ's
Counselling and psychotherapy fees can vary across individual practitioners or services.
My fee is £80 per 50 minute individual counselling session.
The full fee is applicable if a session is cancelled with less than 24 hours notice.
There is no set limit or recommendation. Everyone is different and is working on their unique development, at their own rate.
Counselling can range from only a few sessions to several months or for some, years of therapeutic input is helpful.
We will discuss in your consultation session what your needs are, developing an insight as to how long we might work together.
At Parade chambers there is no waiting area. If you have an in-person appointment, please arrive at your appointment time and come straight up to the counselling room.
Unfortunately I can not receive you more than a minute or two before your appointment time.
I am an accredited member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), I am therefore, bound by the BACP’s ethical framework for good practice.
Our sessions are confidential between you and me. You may choose to tell others about your sessions but I do not disclose to other people information which you share with me.
As part of my ethical and legal requirement I attend supervision to monitor my practice and review safeguarding. I will sometimes need to discuss my cases with my supervisor who is bound by the same confidentiality rules, clients details are anonymised unless there is a legal safeguarding duty to uphold.
In circumstances such as immediate or serious risk to my clients life, a child’s safety or disclosure of acts of terrorism (1989) I am required to make contact with an appropriate third party in order to help safeguard the individual concerned. Any such concerns I may have are discussed with you before further action is decided upon.
In short, counselling could be considered to be shorter term work, with psychotherapy being the term applied to more in-depth longer term therapy.
The two terms are interchangeable as in both instances I would be working to the same end goal, to ensure that the person sitting with me has a safe space to explore what ails them; to help a person master changes, adapt to new ways of being, understand and let go of, unhelpful characteristics.
