Terms and Conditions

I work on the basis of regular weekly, or twice weekly sessions, excepting holiday breaks during August and at Christmas and Easter. I am able to give notice of these breaks, if required, at the beginning of September for the following year. I also very occasionally attend professional events which may interrupt our meetings.

Once we begin the psychotherapy, the weekly session will be reserved solely for you and, excepting the weeks of my absences, you will be required to pay the full fee for all sessions throughout the year. If you, or I, need to be away for some reason I will try to offer an alternative time for us to meet for that week although this cannot be guaranteed.

Extended absences or regularly missed sessions are not compatible with this work therefore it is vital that you consider your ability to meet these requirements before beginning therapy.

My current fee is £45.00 per session.

Confidentiality and Professionalism

I will consider the existence of the therapy relationship, in itself, as confidential. This also extends to the content of sessions, all information divulged and to any information regarding the process of the psychotherapy. Limits to this, otherwise absolute, confidentiality are threefold, namely:

1. That I may, from time to time, discuss the process of the psychotherapy with a colleague as a means of clarification for myself. This would likewise be within a confidential, professional consulting relationship.

2. That to withhold information could result in harm to yourself, or others, or constitute my collusion through knowledge of actions which may result in legal proceedings.

3. That I am required to disclose information by a court of law.

I am currently a full member of the Association of Humanistic Psychology Practitioners in the category of Psychotherapist and am signatory to their Code of Ethical Principles, Code of Practice and Complaints Procedure as published March 1999. Copies of these documents can be obtained from myself or direct from the AHPP at BCM AHPP, London WC1N 3XX.
