FAQs
What to Expect
Your therapy session will be around 50 minutes of therapy plus 5 minutes of admin. In an initial assessment, you will be asked about your background, what brings you to therapy, and your current difficulties. I may also ask you to complete a questionnaire to measure your mood.
Through the sessions, we will begin to discover patterns of coping and thinking which may have “trapped” you, causing or worsening your distress. We might draw this into diagrams or maps to help us understand. We will think each session about coping skills and new ways of working to break some of these patterns. You may be given some “homework” to do between sessions to facilitate your recovery
Booking
Bookings are made through email. Once you have confirmed your initial appointment time, you will be sent some documents outlining our terms and conditions, along with forms to gather basic information about you and GDPR consent forms.
Payment
If self-funding, payment is to be made directly by bank transfer before your appointment. If therapy is funded through an insurance company, this will be claimed directly from the insurer.
Cancellations
Please give 24 hours’ notice for any cancellations. If you are unable to provide 24 hours’ notice, you may be charged for the cost of the session.
Late Arrival
If you are late to the session, I may not be able to offer you the extra time to make up the full appointment. If you are working online and are late, I will remain in the online meeting for 15 minutes and will attempt to contact you by email to remind you if you are late.
Confidentiality
Your sessions are held with confidence, and your details will not be shared with others. I will ask for your consent to contact your GP to inform them that you are in therapy.
If I am concerned about your safety, or the safety of others, I may break confidentiality and inform your GP or escalate this to safeguarding. You will always be informed of this.
