| Code of Ethics I adhere to British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and National Counselling Society (NCS) Fees I currently charge £95 for an individual and £110 for two people Once a regular weekly session has been arranged, missed sessions do have to be paid for in full whether attended or not, until our agreed ending. If you give me 48 hours or more notice, there is no charge for a missed session Payment is due in cash at the end of each session or online prior to each session. Credit card payments can also be accepted if arranged in advance Therapy Sessions last for 50 minutes for an individual and 60 minutes for couples. The “end time” of a session is not affected by late arrivals I do not have a waiting room and I am unable to answer the door for early arrivals. There is plenty of free parking available. |
