Your therapy
ConfidentialityThe counselling relationship depends on the total confidentiality of the material being considered.
Safety The therapeutic space is a safe place for you and your feelings and what you say. Psychodynamic counsellors are required to have undergone their own analytic therapy for at least the duration of their training. They understand what it means to be ‘in therapy’ and how it feels. Your counsellor will let you know if she thinks you are not suitable for psychodynamic therapy.
Regularity Sessions are at a fixed time and place every week. They last for precisely 50 minutes.
Assessment If you would like to pursue counselling, please get in touch by telephone or email. We shall arrange for an initial consultation of an hour and a half in which we can consider your needs in depth and find out whether we feel we can work together. At this stage we can agree our terms. There is no obligation to continue. I can let you know if I think another intervention would be more suitable, and we can discuss this.
Cost Fees are discussed at the assessment. The assessment costs £70.
