FAQs
To help you decide if I am the right therapist for you, here’s some information about how we would work together:
Appointments
If you are interested in regular sessions as opposed to an Intensive, the work we do together can best be achieved by you coming to sessions at the same time and day each week – ideally, in-person (although I also offer sessions via telephone and Zoom).
If this is not possible due to your schedule or budget, I may be able to offer you fortnightly sessions.
Many people find that 6 – 12 sessions will make significant changes to their lives. For others, longer term work best fits their needs and goals. We will work together to achieve a programme tailored to suit you as an individual and will have regular reviews to make sure it remains helpful for you.
Appointments are available Monday to Thursday, between the hours of 9.00am and 5.00pm.

Cancellations
I need 48 hours’ notice if you wish to cancel your appointment. If you give me less notice than this or do not attend your session, I will charge the full session fee. If you are unable to come to my rooms for your session, you may wish to consider having your session at your usual time via telephone or Zoom instead.
Please note that the full fee is always charged if you arrive late, regardless of the reason.
Confidentiality & GDPR
Your confidentiality is paramount, and appointments are timed so you won’t meet other clients arriving or leaving your sessions.
What you say in counselling / supervision is confidential in accordance with the BACP’s Ethical Framework. This means that your information will only be shared with other agencies if there is a legal requirement to do so or if I feel there is an immediate risk of significant harm to you or others.
Your information will only be used for the purposes of providing you with a counselling service. Records are kept for 7 years before being safely destroyed and I recognise your rights in line with data protection law.
Emails and texts should only be used for booking and changing appointments, but not for discussing anything else.
When you provide your information, you agree to it being held and used in this way.
