Practice FAQ

Q: How many sessions will I need?

This depends on the nature of the issues you're working on. Some people achieve what they want in as little as four or five sessions; most people take between six and ten.

Q: How often should I attend?

Usually in the beginning the sessions are weekly but become more spaced out later in the process.

Q: How much will my investment be?

Currently my rates are £47 per full-length session. A full session takes an hour or slightly over (I recommend you allow 1 hour and 15 minutes).

Sometimes shorter sessions are appropriate and are correspondingly cheaper. A half-hour session costs £27.

Q: Do you offer concessionary rates to people on low income?

Yes - please contact me and we can discuss this.

Q: Do you offer evening and weekend appointments?

Yes, a limited number are available, but at an increased cost of £57 (weekend) and £52 (evening) for a full session.

Q: What else is involved in therapy?

Therapy is not just about one hour a week in my office. Real change happens when you do things differently in the actual context of your life. Often therapy involves us agreeing tasks or "homework" - for instance practice of mindfulness meditation. Therapy is always a collaborative effort so nothing is imposed - everything is agreed between us. Homework is in keeping with the skills-based emphasis of my therapy.
