Frequently Asked Questions

I work in Hove both face to face and online on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.   On Tuesdays I work from my home in Steyning.  Sessions are 50 minutes long.   

I have limited availability at the moment, do get in touch for further details.    

Currently, my fees are £80 per session and I raise them each year in line with the cost of living.    I have one low-cost EMDR place so do contact me if you'd like to go on the waiting list for this.  I charge for our initial session upfront; thereafter payments are required by 9 am on the day of each session.  Unfortunately, I do not accept insurance. 

I do work on a short and longer-term basis.  As a lot can be achieved with EMDR people may come for a short time, although sometimes this is not the case; it depends upon your needs.    With EMDR/psychotherapy, I work on a weekly basis.  Music Imagery Psychotheapy however lends itself to more flexible arrangments depending upon my schedule.  

Please fill out the contact form or send me an email, This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..   I will then arrange a 15 minute introductory call where you are welcome to ask questions and I will go over a few things.   If we decide to go ahead, we will arrange a mutually agreeable time and I will email you a confirmation.  I will then send you my Contract for signing before we meet in person.  This does not require you to commit to working with me if we decide after first meeting we are not the best fit.   It does ensure that your agreement to my privacy policy in accordance with the latest GDPR is in place from the outset. 

I require a minimum of five days’ notice if you need to cancel a session; otherwise the full fee will be payable.  I take up to 7 weeks’ holiday per year, and you can also have up to three weeks off (holidays etc) per year without charge.      

My contract sets out all the necessary things which ensures safe, effective working -  cancellation clauses, (see above), my DNA policy, confidentiality and safeguarding, holiday entitlements etc.  

I am a highly trained and experienced psychotherapist, accredited with the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and the government body the Health and Care Professions’ Council (HCPC).  This means that I have committed to the highest ethical standards; not only to regular supervision professional development activities but also to abide by these bodies’ ethical frameworks.   I ensure that your needs always remain at the heart of our work together.   To this end, we have regular reviews where your input, feedback forms part of how we move forward into to keep things on track.
