Frequently Asked Questions.
Do you offer consultations?
Yes, I offer a free 15-20 minute consultation. This is great for us to briefly get to know each other and see how we may work together and if we are the right fit. It is also useful for you to be able to ask any queries you may have.
Is everything confidential?
All sessions are confidential. The exception is if there is cause of concern that you or someone else may be in danger of serious harm. In this instance you would be made aware confidentiality will be breached. This will be explored in full in our first session. I am required to see my supervisor monthly to ensure I am working ethically. Your details will be anonymised entirely.
Is there a cancellation fee?
Sessions can be cancelled at no cost 48 hours prior. Anytime after this you will be charged half of the session fee.
How often will I need sessions?
Therapy sessions usually take place once a week. However, as life often gets in the way, I also offer bi-weekly sessions to help cater for those with busy schedules.
How many sessions will I need?
I offer both short and long term therapy. Every individuals needs differ in terms of how long they may need and this is something we can discuss. Both types can be equally as beneficial. Short term therapy can be up to 6-8 weeks, whereas long term can be open ended
Will you keep notes of our sessions?
I keep brief notes from our sessions which are purely context based. These are encrypted and only accessible by me. Should you wish to view these notes you are able to do so. All notes are kept in line wth GDPR guidelines and I am registered with the ICO. More details can be found here -
