Ethos

Terms and Conditions Agreement (you can sign a copy at your first session so no need to print)

 

I am a Registered Practitioner Psychologist with the Health and Care Professions Council and adhere to their codes of practice, as well as those of the British Psychological Society.

Therapy will be conducted collaboratively with an emphasis on you taking responsibility for your decisions and actions, as well as any resulting consequences. Live Well Consulting Ltd. and employees are not liable for the outcome of any decision you make during, or at any time after your therapy, coaching or training.

I believe that therapy works best with the development of a trusting, non-judgemental, therapeutic relationship that empowers clients to overcome and endure challenges during the process.

My work draws on an integration of therapeutic techniques, largely underpinned by Cognitive Behavioral Therapies.

Therapy Sessions

The initial therapy session will be used to clarify your reason for coming to therapy and to take some personal history and details.

Each session lasts for 50 minutes unless otherwise arranged.

Cancellations without 24-hour notice will be charged at the full session rate. If you have insurance then there may be an excess fee to pay directly to Live Well Consulting Ltd., so please check in advance. If you cancel a session covered by your insurance, then you may be liable to pay the cancellation fee equivalent to the cost that would have been covered by your insurer.

The fee is £130.00/ therapy session and £150.00 for couples (sessions arranged through insurance companies, corporate engagements, training or other services will be charged based on a separate agreement).

The fee for each session is payable by bank transfer on the day of your appointment. Unpaid accounts, without an agreed repayment schedule, will be forwarded to a collection agency and may affect your credit and confidentiality.

If you are late for your session I will not be able to make up the time and you will be charged the full rate for the time you have left when you arrive.

If for some reason I am late then the time will be made up to you if possible or your session will be discounted proportionally for the time missed.
