Fees and first-session money-back assurance

The fees and conditions on this page are for normal individual sessions. See here for telephone counselling.

• My hourly rate is £55 per hour, payable by cash or cheque at the end of each session (Paypal in advance may be possible - please enquire).
  
  
• The initial session is always two hours for all issues and is therefore £110.
  If you wish to meet me first and ask any questions, then you are welcome and an initial half-hour introductory meeting is free of charge.
  
  
• Any 1.5 hour sessions are £82.50. For more complex or emotional issues I prefer to do 1.5 hour sessions initially, even if the interval between sessions needs to be longer.
  
  
• The interval between sessions is up to you. The most popular choice is two weeks, but it could be one week, or 3 weeks.
  For continuing situations monthly can also be enough, though it's preferable if possible to start off with more frequent meetings.
  
  
• My hours are not 50 minute "therapy hours", but full-length 60 minute hours.
  
  
• Fees are payable at the end of each session by cheque or in cash. There is no advance commitment to a fixed number of sessions.

First session money-back assurance and terms and conditions

Finding the right therapist is a major decision. To assist you I offer:

1. If desired, a free no-obligation half-hour introductory meeting
   (or I'm also very happy to answer your questions on the phone)
2. A no-risk assurance on the first session: If at the end of the first session you honestly feel that my work is not what you are looking for, there is no quibble, no question - and no charge.

It is very, very rare for anyone to be other than happy with their first session.

The following conditions, which I trust are fair and commonsense, apply:

• This assurance applies to the first session only, not subsequent ones.
• It applies at the end of the session, not afterwards.
• It is not in any way a guarantee of results (see below.) It is to let you experience my work in depth and know that it is right for you.
• For extended-length ("breakthrough") sessions, the assurance applies to the first two hours.
• It does not apply to telephone counselling.

Question: Some therapists don't charge unless the client gets the changes they want. If you are so confident of your work, why don't you offer such a guarantee?

Answer: No genuine psychotherapist offers such a guarantee, ever. It implies that your happiness is in the power of someone else to ensure, and that is just not so. Your life is your responsibility. The work of therapy is to help you take that fact as a joy and not as a burden. Happiness is in the end your choice, and that power to choose is our glory as human beings. In fact, a guarantee such as that poisons the whole therapeutic relationship and makes the real work hard or impossible.

I like my first session to be two hours because in that time, many people will already have a tangible breakthrough. That gets the work off to a flying start. But that makes the first session more expensive, and so, to let me do the work in the way I find most effective, I support the longer session length with this assurance.

I want you to have complete peace of mind. When you come to see me, you have nothing to lose but your limitations.
