Getting Started

Arranging an initial session
I usually suggest we arrange an initial 50 minute session during which I can learn a bit about you, you can get a feel for how I work, and together we can make an informed decision about whether it would be beneficial for us to continue working together. 

Of course, every counsellor works a bit differently and it is important for you to feel comfortable working with the counsellor you choose. If , for any reason, you decide I’m not the right counsellor for you, feel free to tell me so. Similarly, if there is any reason why I feel it may be better for you to work with someone else, I will let you know and help you find another counsellor.

Where we meet
I meet with clients in a cosy consulting room in the centre of Pinner. Discreetly located amongst other small offices, it is just a few minutes walk from Pinner tube station. There is also a large car park across the road. ​

Session duration
and fees
Sessions are usually 50 minutes long and the fee is £50 for individuals and £65 for couples. Under some circumstances it may seem beneficial to have some longer sessions in which case we would discuss and agree this beforehand.

Payment can be made by cash or cheque. Unfortunately, I am not currently able to accept payment by card.

I can offer a limited number of concessionary places to those experiencing genuine financial difficulties. If you would like to be considered, please discuss your circumstances with me before booking your initial session.

Insurance:
I am a recognised provider for the following health insurance companies: Cigna, Aviva (Norwich Union) & WPA. If you are a policy-holder, you may be able to claim for the cost of your therapy, but please check with your provider beforehand to avoid disappointment.
