Working Hours

My current working hours are:

Session Duration and Scheduling

Therapy sessions are 50 minutes in duration and are held on the same day, at the same time, on a weekly basis.

Initial Consultation Session

If you would like to meet with me, to see whether I would be a suitable therapist for you to work with, you are welcome to book an initial consultation session.

During this meeting you will have the opportunity to gain first-hand experience of what I am like to be with, and to ask any questions that you may have, before deciding whether to proceed further.

Fees

If you are funding therapy sessions yourself, the standard fee for either an initial consultation session or a regular weekly therapy session is £150.

After each session I will send you an invoice with details of how to make a payment.

Health Insurance Providers

I am registered with most health insurance providers, including Aviva, AXA Health, Bupa UK, Bupa Global, Vitality, and WPA.

Cancellation Policy

If you wish to cancel a session, I require a minimum of 24 hours’ notice, otherwise you will be liable for the session fee.

In Person / Online Sessions

My preference is to meet with people in person, as I believe this affords the best therapeutic experience.

There are four exceptions to this, for which online sessions (via Zoom) may be considered instead:

• If you experience unforeseen circumstances on a particular occasion.
• If the problems for which you are seeking therapy prevent you from travelling.
• If you have a physical disability that means you are unable to travel.
• If you live outside of the London area.

Professional Responsibility

In keeping with my values and the guidance of the professional bodies of which I am a member, I will never ask you to do anything that would benefit me either personally, or professionally, in any way whatsoever, other than the payment of session fees.

Testimonials

One direct consequence of the position I take towards my professional responsibility, is that I do not ask the people that I meet with for therapy to write testimonials.  Given that doing so would be solely for my own commercial gain, I consider that such requests would constitute a ‘conflict of self-interest’, as defined by The British Psychological Society’s Code of Ethics and Conduct (BPS, 2021).

Instead, and consistent with my approach to therapy, I believe the best way for you to determine whether I might be a suitable therapist for you, is to book an initial consultation session, so that you may decide for yourself, based on your own personal experience.
