Getting Started

After contacting me via phone or email I will invite you for an initial meeting. This initial meeting will cost you £60.00. This provides the opportunity for you to share with me your current situation and ask any questions about how I work. This is also a chance for me to decide if I am able to offer what you are looking for.

If after this meeting, we are both happy to continue working together we can arrange our first session. Alternatively, you may wish to take time to think about how you feel. You are under no obligation to continue. If at the end of our initial meeting I am not sure that I have the skill set to work with you then we can discuss what comes next.

Each session will last 50 minutes in total. It is recommended that we start with weekly sessions as this is beneficial for building a secure working relationship. The number of sessions needed will vary from person to person. Everyone is different and some people need longer than others.

This is something that is reviewed as we progress, and what is needed emerges. As this is a mutual process, we regularly review our contract together as the work unfolds.

You are free to end at any stage and we can negotiate an ending period depending on the length of time we have been working together. Ending face to face is my preferred method as this provides the opportunity for an ending that honours the relational process.

The charge for each session is currently £60.00. This can be done by bank transfer. All students are charged a concessionary rate of £55 per session.

Cancellations – I ask that you provide me with 48 hours-notice, otherwise the cost for the session will still be charged. This is to ensure that any available time can be given to those who may be waiting, and my time is used effectively.

Any questions can be discussed in our initial meeting and as we continue to review our working contract together should we decide to proceed.
