Initial consultation

Your initial consultation is free of charge.  This will last for 20-30 minutes and will take place either face-to-face or via a telephone/Skype conversation.  The relationship between therapist and client is crucial and our initial discussion will allow us to explore how fruitful a relationship we are likely to form.

The sessions

We believe that should an important issue be raised it should be explored.  So our sessions are not limited to the usual 45/50 minutes. An Applied Psychology session will last from between 45 minutes to one hour and 20 minutes depending on the nature of the discussion.  An average session lasts for one hour. 

Proper psychological therapy involves two to four times as much work outside the therapeutic session as goes on within it.  The session demands preparation while in its wake there must be proper annotation of what has been discussed and ongoing bespoke research into the particular issues raised.

Cancellations and Punctuality:

Sessions, once booked, may be cancelled or rescheduled if 48 hours notice is given. Unfortunately, a session cannot be extended if you arrive late and risk another client's inconvenience.  Please bear this in mind as this is the one circumstance where your time will be strictly limited.   We urge clients to arrive as scheduled in order to make the best use of the time allocated. Please note that we do not reimburse for unfulfilled appointments.

Payment methods:

Session payment may made by cheque or cash at the beginning/ end of each session, or paid in advance online via a Paypal invoice. You may also pay via direct bank transfer.
