Terms and conditions

Therapy and parent sessions: £140 for 50 minutes. The initial telephone call is free and lasts around 15 minutes. Please read the cancellation and confidentiality information below before beginning therapy.

Confidentiality

I understand and respect the need for privacy when discussing sensitive matters, however one of our main concerns is ensuring the safety of our clients. Therefore in the rare circumstance that I am concerned that either you are harming yourself, harming someone else or are at risk of being harmed by others, I will need to share my concerns with the most appropriate person. Whenever possible, this will be discussed with you first.

I follow the BPS code of ethics, I am registered with the HCPC as a Counselling Psychologist, and receive supervision for my practice. All data and records are held confidentially and in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018, as amended.

Please see my privacy policy for how I record, store and retain information about our work together.

Cancellation Policy

I understand that sometimes things do not always go as planned and it may result in your needing to cancel or reschedule your appointment. If you are unable to make your scheduled appointment I ask that you provide me with at least 48 hours notice. Otherwise a 50% cancellation session fee will apply. Sessions cancelled with less than 24 hours notice or if no notice is received, will be charged at the full amount.

If your sessions are being funded by insurance, you are responsible for the payment of missed sessions.

Fees

I will send an invoice prior to each session. I will email the payment and appointment arrangements relevant to your booking before the first session.

Therapy and parent sessions, including the first appointment, last 50 minutes and cost £140, online or in person. Professional liaison and meetings outside sessions are charged at £70 per 30 minutes.

Insurance

I am currently registered with Vitality, AXA, AVIVA, Cigna, Aetna and WPA. I will confirm the arrangements relevant to your policy before the first session. I will need your policy details and confirmation that your insurer has approved the sessions.

I hold my own professional indemnity insurance.

Social Media

I can be found on Instagram, and I am aware that this may be slightly different from other therapists that you have worked with in the past. If you do follow me, you are free to unfollow me at any time. There is no obligation to like or comment on my posts. I recommend that you look at the disclaimer in my highlights for more information.

Please use the enquiry form for new enquiries rather than social-media messages. If we already work together, please use the contact arrangements we have agreed.

I don’t follow clients on social media. It’s your space, and it would be an intrusion for me to do so.
