Questions about Therapy
How long will I need to come to therapy for?
This is a difficult question as everyone’s needs are different. We contract to work together for the problem that you are seeking support with. I work honestly and will adapt to your needs when you feel the frequency of our sessions will change, I am always open to discuss your requirements at whatever stage of our work together.
Questions about Booking and Payment
Do you offer concessions?
There are a limited number of concessions available for student counsellors, students and senior citizens.
What is your cancellation policy?
I understand that life is unpredictable. Cancellations with more than 48 hours notice will not be charged. However, in cases where less than 48 hours notice is given or there is non-attendance, full payment is expected.
Can I pay in a block booking for my therapy?
Yes, some clients prefer to pay for their therapy as a block to help with budgeting.
