Practicalities and confidentiality

If you would like to explore the possibility of embarking upon therapy we will normally offer you an assessment consultation to meet and explore your issues and decide whether you are able to work together. If you contract to work together you will normally be offered a regular session of 50 minutes weekly on either a short term or open-ended basis. The contract normally involves deciding the agreed day and time of sessions, the cost of the fee as well as arrangements for holidays, cancellations and methods of payment.

Therapy is a confidential process between the client and the therapist. The therapeutic work of is supervised by a senior practitioner. Confidentiality can only be broken in serious circumstances e.g. when the life of the client or another is considered to be at risk.

We have information and provide referral to other appropriate local therapy services.

Fees

Fees for services to organisations will be negotiated on an intervention by intervention basis depending upon the duration, number of staff seen and location. Counselling fees are for 50 minute sessions usually after an assessment consultation of up to one and a half hours.

Equal opportunities and ethics

We subscribe to the Ethical Framework and complaints procedure of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). In addition we hold professional membership of the Foundation of Psychotherapy & Counselling (FPC) and subscribe to its code of ethics.

Our therapists have undergone their own therapy. We are committed to equal opportunities and do not discriminate on grounds of class, gender, race, religion, marital status or sexual orientation.
