Usually one hour.

3. How frequent are the sessions?

Weekly or fortnightly for individuals or couples, and three weekly for families, altering as the work requires.

4. Where will the therapy take place?

In a consulting room in a private house.

5. How long will therapy last?

For as long as it is useful to the client(s), but this is constantly reviewed to ensure that there is a clear focus on the work being done.

6. Who are the sessions with?

With me, a qualified therapist with over 25 years of training and experience.

7. What will the therapist do?

Discuss the clients’ concerns and help them explore the issues and dilemmas, so as to talk through options for the future.

Fees are charged for each session, paid directly by the client(s) or, where applicable, by their private health insurance.
