Payment and Review

Fees are payable by cash, cheque, or bank transfer on the day of the session. Fees are reviewed each April and may be increased.

Cancellation Policy

In the event of cancellation, unless 48 hours’ notice is received, the full fee is payable. Where possible, I will attempt to rearrange another session within the same week if informed in good time before the scheduled appointment.

Sessions begin and end on time. As I do not have waiting room facilities, please arrive no earlier than five minutes before your session.

Endings

I require two weeks’ notice of your intention to finish therapy (unless otherwise agreed in advance). This ensures we have the opportunity to bring our work to an appropriate close and address any issues of further support or referral.

Privacy Statement

In relation to the new data protection laws (GDPR), I confirm that all client records are held in a secure, locked filing cabinet when I am not in my consulting room. No records are held on computer and any email correspondence is deleted once response has been made by myself.

For clients with whom I work online please be aware that any site may not be secure and is not considered by law to be totally confidential. My work mobile number remains either in my office (home based) or with me if am out of the office and holds only contact numbers in case of emergency.

Confidentiality

As outlined during the first session with all clients, the only time confidentiality may be broken is if I believe there is a risk of self-harm, harm to others, child at risk or the law is being broken. In any of these cases, I make every endeavour to speak with my client first before contacting either doctor, family member or other.

As is the case with all professional counsellors and psychotherapists, we must be in supervision with an accredited supervisor for monthly supervision meetings. This is also strictly bound by the laws of confidentiality and in some cases, a client will be discussed within a supervision session.
