What do I expect at an initial consultation and what's the cost?
The initial consultation is £30 for one-to-one therapy, and lasts for 40 minutes.
For couple/two-person family therapy it is £50 and lasts a full hour.
This initial session is to discuss what the presenting issues may be, to get a sense of whether we can work together and of how therapy may benefit you.
There is no commitment to start the therapy if you attend this initial session. You might feel decided at the end whether to book further sessions, or take time to reflect and let me know.
How do I book an initial consultation?
Simply call or text 07797 77 99 49 to book an informal, no commitment initial consultation.
How many sessions will I need?
Mindfulness based depth psychotherapy is most effective when continued long term as lasting change usually takes time to achieve and consolidate, but depending on the person and the desired goal, six sessions can be sufficient.
What frequency are the sessions?
At the beginning of the process sessions need to be weekly. This is recommended at least for the initial six. After then we an review. Depending on the process, continuing weekly might be good, but reducing to fortnightly can be okay. For longer term work, some feel it good to go to monthly. Monthly works as a kind of check in/maintenance of the changes made where necessary. Every person and process is unique. We work together to find what's best for you.
