First Impressions Count

Whether in therapy or supervision, it is crucial that the client/supervisee and therapist feel right together.

I usually speak to people by phone to get an initial impression of things. Then I meet with people for an assessment appointment and to agree a contract. There is no charge for this meeting.

Normally I agree an initial contract of 3 months at which point we review whether working together is right and is proving valuable.

Regular reviews of the work are built-in.

Therapy

Individual therapy sessions are the traditional “50 minute hour” and are normally weekly.
Twice- or three-times-weekly, or fortnightly, sessions are possible.

Supervision

I have been a psychotherapy and counselling supervisor for many years. Therapists from a variety of modalities seem to find a freshness and richness in reframing their work from a psychoanalytic perspective.

Fees

Oversight

All psychotherapy and counselling work should be supervised; my own supervisor is a distinguished psychotherapist of many years’ standing. She has no personal information about the people I see.

Professionally, I am a Registered Group and Individual Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist, with the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP), through the “Council for Psychoanalysis and Jungian Analysis College” (CPJA).

My work is covered by the UKCP Standards and Code of Ethics and Complaints Procedures
