How I Work And Fees
When And Where I Am Working
I provide appointments during the day on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
I have a clinic for in-person therapy at The Old Rectory Clinic in Iron Acton, N.Bristol.
Click here for details about this clinic.
I also provide online or telephone therapy.
You will be able to decide on the mode of therapy that you prefer.
Assessment And Treatment Process
A therapy contract with details of what you can expect will be shared and signed before therapy starts.
All therapy appointments are booked in advance.
The first appointment will be an assessment to identify and agree therapy needs.
Some people find that they need 8-12 therapy sessions, others may want to consider longer phases of therapy. The frequency and length of therapy work will be recommended by me. I will give you my best advice so that you can make your own choice. I will always work to provide the therapy you need within the timeframe you prefer.
Information On Fees
If requested, I can offer a free initial 10 minute telephone consultation for enquiries and to help you make a decision.
All assessment and treatment therapy sessions are 60 minutes long and are pre booked.
Self-Funded Therapy Sessions are £100 per 60min Session.
Payments must be made within a week of the therapy session and certainly before the next scheduled session.
Payment can be made by bank transfer. I will provide you with an invoice with full details for your records.
Insurance, Third Party and Medico-Legally Funded Therapy
I accept BUPA, AXA Health, Aviva, VitalityHealth, Cigna and WPA insurance funded therapy.
I need to be made aware in advance of booking if insurance is the intended method of payment.
Therapy sessions funded by Insurance, Third Party Companies or Medico-Legal Organisations (including corporate groups, Case Managers and Solicitor instruction) cost £110 per hour, which reflects the additional administrative work required.
Cancellations
There is no charge if you cancel or reschedule your appointment with at least 24 hours notice on working days.
Cancellations made with less than 24 business hours' notice, as well as unattended/missed appointments, will be charged in full.
This cancellation fee also applies to insurance funded therapy (insurance companies do not cover cancellations so you will be held liable for this fee).
GDPR, Confidentiality & Professional Insurance
I follow all National and Professional legal requirements on confidentiality and privacy and I am registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). I have full professional liabilities insurance.
