Session fees
Therapy - individuals and family work
- An hour’s consultation costs £105 if you are paying for your own sessions.
- When I work therapeutically with young people, I also meet with their parents for separate coaching and support sessions to ensure that everyone involved with the young person is following the same approach. All sessions cost £120.
If third parties other than immediate family are involved with funding the sessions, the fee will be higher and will be determined on a case by case basis. Third parties may, for example, be insurance or rehabilitation companies, Employee Assistance Programme providers, training organisations, employers, statutory or legal bodies and, in some cases, a person’s friend.
Coaching and support for parents
Coaching for parents is often helpful where a young person is not currently accessing therapy or their existing therapist does not offer comprehensive support for parents. Our coaching packages are suitable for parents with young people of secondary school age and beyond:
- Help, I don’t know what to do! Our initial ‘First Aid’ block of four sessions will help you tackle the immediate issues and identify changes that may be needed to foster good outcomes for everyone in the long term. This package costs £547 and is payable in advance. (Talk to us if you’d like details about paying in two instalments).
- Follow-on block of two sessions: £247 payable in advance.
- Top-up single sessions (following a minimum of eight coaching sessions): £125
- Unlimited number of 15 minute coaching sessions for 12 months: £797. This package is not available very often and is by application only. Please ask for details using our contact form if you’re interested.
One-off consultations are sometimes available for parents who haven’t previously worked with us. These cost £180 for an hour or £270 for 90 minutes. However, we strongly recommend the coaching packages if you want to start making a lasting difference to your young person and your family.
Payment for all standalone therapy and coaching sessions, including the first one, must be made at the time of booking by electronic funds transfer or by debit/credit card over the telephone. Please note payment for the first session is non-refundable. For clients outside the UK it may be possible to pay using Stripe (this will incur an additional administrative charge).
Cancellation Policy
We appreciate that most clients who cancel at short notice do so due to circumstances beyond their control and we have every sympathy when these events occur. However, it is highly unlikely that we will be able to book another client into the unused space.
In order to ensure that we can continue to offer a service we charge the full fee for all sessions cancelled with less than 48 hours notice or missed without any notice.
If your sessions are funded by a third party, any cancellations with less than 48 hours notice may reduce the overall number of sessions that have been authorised. If you do not wish to forfeit a cancelled session you may choose to pay the fee yourself and retain your session.
