Frequently Asked Questions
-
The number of sessions varies depending on what you would like support with, your goals for therapy, and how long difficulties have been present. Some people find that a shorter-term approach feels most helpful, while others prefer longer-term support.
Many clients attend between 3–6 sessions, particularly when focusing on a specific issue or developing strategies to manage stress, anxiety, or life changes. For more longstanding or complex difficulties, therapy may extend to around 10–12 sessions or longer.
We will regularly review how things are going together, with therapy tailored to your individual needs and pace.
-
Initial appointments (up to 75 minutes): $230
Follow up appointments (50-55 minutes): $200
Payment is due on the day of your appointment. If you have any questions about fees or the therapy process, you’re welcome to get in touch.
-
If you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment, I ask that you provide at least 48 hours’ notice where possible. This allows the appointment time to be offered to someone else who may be waiting for support.
Appointments cancelled with less than 48 hours’ notice, may be charged 50% of the appointment fee. Appointments cancelled within 24 hours, or missed appointments, may incur the full session fee.
