Frequently asked Questions  

                               How do I make an appointment ?

                               There is no need for a Doctors letter, anyone can contact me and refer themselves.

                               You can contact me by email, landline,  mobile phone or by text message to my mobile.

                               How many sessions would it take ?

                               Generally speaking, for the majority of clients  up to six weekly sessions will deal with

                               most problems. If it is a more chronic, entrenched condition then I will tell you roughly

                               how many sessions would be required as it may require longer term therapy.

                               What would I expect from my first session ?

                               The first session  is usually an assessment session, although, if there is time I will try to

                                cover a treatment technique. I will use psychometric testing to assess if you are depressed

                                or anxious. We will discuss the nature of your problem, and the goals and outcomes you

                                would like to achieve in therapy. I will tell you if you are suffering from a diagnosable

                                condition and what you can expect from therapy. If you feel that I  have a grasp of your

                                problem and you feel that the treatment techniques would help you recover then you can

                                consider making a further appointment.

                                Is the service confidential ?

                                Yes, no one will know that you are attending me. GP's are not contacted when you

                                come into therapy and no discharge letters are sent unless you specifically request one

                                to be sent and even then I will request your written consent to do so. The only time I

                                would break confidentiality would be, if I felt you were actively suicidal and where

                                going to harm yourself or that you were going to harm someone else. someone
