Terms and conditions

My main condition is that any changes or cancellations need to be done within a minimum of 48 h notice, otherwise a full fee applies.

If I take you as a client I am committed to help to the best of my abilities, but I don’t bind you to any commitment to a fixed number of sessions. At any point you can choose to leave, so any session can be the last session, you decide and don’t have to explain.

I think that the therapist’s role is to guide the client through a process of inner discovery to address and resolve particular issues.

However, I believe that you as a client need to have significant control over the therapeutic process.

I practise this in several ways:

In the initial session, after a good enough understanding of what is going on, I ask you what the focus and goals of counselling you expect and, sometimes with some help, they define that as clearly as possible at that stage. I take this as my brief and my direction, it comes from you.

Then I explain what I can do to help, giving you the opportunity to check how you feel about that.

Only then you decide whether to continue or not. Nothing is taken for granted.

It sounds so obvious, but you would be surprised to hear that not everybody does it this way.
