Location:
My practice is based in Musselburgh.
Confidentiality:
Sessions are confidential, with the exception of circumstances in which information must be sensitively shared with particular responsible individuals due to a person or persons being at risk of harm or because of legal imperatives. Where a client’s circumstances are more complex it may be that therapy would be most safely offered in conjunction with a team of professionals, in which case the terms of confidentiality within that team will be contracted with a client or their parent/carer.
Fees:
I offer a sliding scale of £50-75 per session, with the intention that therapy work can be accessed by people in different financial circumstances. £65 is considered a fairly standard fee for a therapy session. If you can afford to pay a higher rate on the scale please consider you are enabling others with lower incomes to access therapy. If you need a lower rate on this scale (for example you might be a student, unemployed, in receipt of benefits or a key worker on a low wage) I hope you will feel able to request this. Spaces at this rate are limited but if there is not one available I can let you know when this changes.
We will agree a rate on commencing therapy which can be reviewed if your circumstances change.
For organisationally funded sessions, please enquire for a quote.
For work with children and young people where there is a need for lengthier communication between sessions, I will plan with you for phone calls at appropriate intervals and cost this in with you in the initial stages of planning. Regretfully due to the time intensive nature of children’s work I am unable to offer concession rates for this.
In cases of adoption support work you may be able to access funding support via your adoption agency or local authority – I am happy to consult with you or your social worker and provide a quote for such circumstances.
Supervision sessions are on a sliding scale of £50-65 per hour, with the lowest rate being for therapists who are newly qualified, in the earliest stages of developing work and entirely self funded. Organisationally funded sessions are at the higher rate, and I ask more established self funding therapists to pay £55-60 as they are able.
All initial sessions are charged at a reduced rate of £30.
An initial phone call for us to explore whether we might be a good fit for each other is free of charge. Please feel free to get in touch and we will go one step at a time.
