Outline of offer
The starting point for the process is a one hour Assessment Appointment. Assessment is not clinical in the same way as attending a GP or hospital, neither is it interrogative, intrusive or unnecessarily invasive. We simply create a space to understand your history leading up to choosing to seek help and decide how best we might work together going forwards. We cover confidentiality and you will receive a clear overview of the options available. If we choose to continue, review takes place approximately every six weeks. Individual sessions both face-to-face and online range from £60 per hour to £85 per hour.
