Fees

General

It is difficult to state exactly how many therapy sessions you will need at the beginning of treatment. However, as a rough guide, for a recent single problem of less than 12 -18 months duration then 6-12 therapy sessions will generally be sufficient. For problems with a longer history or where there is more than one problem 10-20 sessions may be needed.

Assessment

The fee for the initial assessment is £90.00. If you decide after the initial assessment to go ahead with treatment and are willing to give your consent, it is good practice to inform your GP or Consultant Psychiatrist that I will be seeing you in therapy. However, if you decide not to give consent I will respect your decision.

Sessions

Following the assessment all sessions will be charged at £80.00.

This includes:

• Therapist preparation
• Telephone calls or e-mail contact with other Health Care Professionals, providing that you have consented

All charges are payable by bank transfer, cash or cheque prior to the day of appointment.

Blocks of treatment sessions are payable in advance in order to secure regular weekly appointments.

Same day cancellations or missed appointments will be charged at the same rate.

Extra charges will be made for copies of assessment or discharge reports as well as reports or correspondence to a 3rd party.

I am registered with some private medical insurance companies. If you have private medical insurance cover you may be covered for psychological therapy. If this is the case you may wish to enquire about this prior to coming along for your initial assessment session.
