Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost?
I offer a free initial telephone consultation, up to 30 minute, to discuss what the problems are, what you would like support with and your needs generally so that we can ensure this is right approach for you.
All future appointments cost £75
How many session will I need?
It is difficult to quantify how many session will be needed however, we can discuss this at the outset and of course you are free to end therapy at any time. However, I do recommend that you take time to reflect on the end of therapy in session before you leave.
