Psychotherapy

How many sessions will I need?

How often we see each other and how many appointments we have will depend on your individual circumstances and will be agreed between myself and yourself together. Sometimes we just need to talk through a concern, feel heard, gain some insight or work through something small that only requires a few sessions; other deeper concerns may take up to 12 sessions or longer to work through. Most concerns will require between 6 and 12 sessions.

How long is each session and how often do they occur?

Therapy sessions are usually 50 minutes in duration and often occur on a weekly or fortnightly basis at the same agreed upon time and day of the week.

Cancellation

I require 48 hours notice for cancellation of any online and walk and talk therapy bookings and 72 hours notice for cancellation of any face-to-face therapy bookings. After that, the full fee of the session will apply.

Expectations - what Psychotherapy is and is not

It is important to be aware that a Therapist will not offer you their opinion or advice, or prescribe medication. Instead therapy focuses on you knowing what is best for yourself and assisting you in finding your own solutions. That being said, appropriate tools and techniques are adopted and offered to assist you throughout this process and I may offer suggestions surrounding any appropriate coping strategies which I feel could be relevant and helpful to you based on the concerns you have and your desired outcome.

Why is your therapy for children and young people priced differently to the therapy you provide to adults

Fees reflect the specialist nature of therapeutic work with children and young people, including developmental expertise, safeguarding responsibility, and parent support outside of sessions.
