Where, When & How Much

Where to meet with me

I work online, telephone or face to face.  There are many benefits to any of these methods, giving freedom of choice, availability, transport and time constraints that we all encounter in our lives.  By working in a flexible way, you can contact me from anywhere within the UK, not limiting your own area to mine.

Face to face work will be in Tiverton or your home address, as agreed.  I will be able to advise you which days I am in these locations when we speak.

Working online with clients has become a way of life during the Covid pandemic.  Initially clients were uneasy about the change, but over the space of a few sessions they have embraced the new way of us working together, many preferring this method as it is more flexible with their life and gives an anonymity that they didn’t realise they could have.

We will decide which method is best for you when we have an initial conversation.  That does not mean it is set in stone and we can work around any restrictions that we may encounter.

How often do we meet?

I would recommend a weekly or fortnightly meeting to provide continuity. There may be occasions where holidays or illness prevent this, but this should generally be planned in advance, if possible.  We can change our session plan and will review our progress every 6 sessions.

How many sessions do I need?
This depends on what you want to look at and what work you do out of our sessions.  We will usually set a review to happen around session 6, but again, this is not set in stone.
How much does this cost?

We can work Face to Face, online or on the telephone.  There may be occasions when you decide to meet in a different format and the cost of that session will reflect the pricing below.

 

  • Face to face Counselling is £55 per hour or £80 for 1.5 hours for one person.
  • My online and telephone rate is £50 per hour or £70 for 1.5 hours for one person.
  • Student Counsellors should contact me to discuss rates.
How do I pay?

I take cash and bank transfers, which will be required on the day of the session.

Cancellations

I require 48 hours’ notice to cancel or move a private session.  Some healthcare providers have different terms and this will be made clear in our contract.
