DUE TO THE TEMPORARY CLOSURE OF OUR CENTRE WE ARE OPERATING VIDEO ASSESSMENTS AND VIDEO COUNSELLING SESSIONS ONLY.
Assessment:
The assessment will be an opportunity to talk through the difficulties you are experiencing and what it is you hope to achieve through counselling. Assessments currently take place via Zoom video calls, and will for last 50 minutes. Fees are:
- £40 if you are working or
- £25 if you are unemployed, a full time student or a pensioner.
The assessment is payable in advance at the time of making the appointment and is non-refundable. You will be able to reschedule the assessment once, providing you give 24 hours’ notice.
Please be aware an assessment is not a therapeutic session.
Counselling sessions:
Commitment: For your counselling to be effective, it is important to attend weekly.
Counselling sessions last for 50 minutes and take place on the same day and time each week. We offer counselling from six weeks and up to two years. Due to Covid-19 our sessions will take place via Zoom video calls.
Fees:
Fees are charged on a sliding scale according to income. Counselling fees are charged:
- from £15 for a daytime appointment
- from £20 for an evening appointment
Currently payments for sessions are made via bank transfer.
All missed sessions must be paid for aside from planned breaks such as holiday or hospital stays. If two sessions have been missed without letting us know we may offer an ending session.
All session fees will be regularly reviewed and are subject to an annual increase.
