Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

The first session looks a bit different from the following sessions, we will explore what brought you to couples therapy and what you hope to achieve. You will also have a chance to ask me any questions you have, for example about me, my training, experience and so on.

It is a chance for us to get to know each other and decide if we are a good fit and you both feel comfortable to continue therapy with me. You can decide at this time to not continue, book further sessions or take a few days to consider what is right for you.

What you share with me is completely confidential with a few exceptions. If I believe there are  risks of serious harming that we can’t address together, certain criminal acts  or if I am required by court to provide evidence.

As part of standard therapy practice, I discuss my work with my clinical supervisor, who is also bound by confidentiality.

Couples sessions: 1 hour – £120. 

There are options for longer sessions that can be explored.

I practice both brief therapy and longer-term therapy and as we are all different the outcomes will not be the same for every couple  and the process and length of therapy are different as well.

There is no rule, but when you feel you want to finish, we talk it through and depending on how long you have been with me, we can set an appropriate date for a final session.

We continually evaluate together and talk about how useful therapy is for  you both  and you are always welcome to end at anytime without any specific reason.

Sessions lasts 60 minutes. However, if you would like longer sessions, we can also agree on 90 min session with longer time between sessions.

Sessions moved or cancelled with 24-hour notice are not charged. However, sessions cancelled
within 24 hours are chargeable. Notify me as soon as you know that you are unable to attend a
session. If we are unable change the session for another day, there will still be a charge

If you are interested in exploring what therapy with me might look like and ask questions you are also welcome to send an email to make your first contact and ask any questions you have. You can also book an initial session and after that decide if you would like to continue therapy or not.

Fees are payable 24 hours in advance of the session by Bank Transfer or PayPal.
