Counselling in the Bristol and Bath area for individuals and couples.
Terms and Conditions
Boundaries
Clear boundaries are paramount in the counselling process, so it is important that we set certain terms and conditions before starting.
Initial Assessment
The first session will be an hour long assessment, where we can discuss whether we feel we could work together, discuss any questions you may have, the issues in hand and most importantly whether counselling is right for you. I charge £30 ( one to one counselling) or £40 (per couple) for an assessment and if you wish to continue subsequent sessions are also charged at the same rate.
Flexibility
Life doesn't always go according to plan, so I am happy to change appointments where necessary, but if appointments are cancelled and are not re booked or if less than 24 hours notice is given for cancellation then the session will be charged at full rate.
Review
It is important that endings are planned as it gives us time to review your journey and most importantly look at what you have achieved and any issues which may still be pressing. In most cases however the ending is by mutual consent, but if the client wishes to end the counseling at least a weeks notice would be required.
Confidentiality
Everything disclosed within our sessions is confidential and all my records are stored in a secure area. There are a few exceptions when confidentiality may need to be broken, however this will be discussed in the initial session.
