Costs of the Initial Consultation

According to psychotherapy and coaching research the initial consultation is one of the most important sessions and has a considerable influence on the success of the further process. In the initial consultation we will discuss the topics and challenges which you are facing, the terms and conditions of your court ordered treatment, your expectations of me and how I think I can help you. Most importantly it should also be used to evaluate the fit between us on an interpersonal level. We need to gel for our work together to be effective. Should that not be the case I will suggest alternate ways for you to proceed. The initial consultation has in any event an intrinsic value and is therefore chargeable at the standard rate.

Reimbursement of Costs

A partial reimbursement of the costs for individual psychotherapy. Unfortunately, I am currently unable to offer any treatment for which a full refund is available.

Appointment Cancellation Conditions

Agreed appointments must be cancelled a minimum of 48 hours in advance in order to avoid costs being invoiced. Sessions not cancelled punctually will be billed at the full rate for the agreed booked duration.

I also commit to my clients to maintain a 48-hour cancellation period for arranged appointments. Should I not be able to fulfil my side of the agreement then I will offer a session for the agreed duration without cost.

Duration of Psychotherapy and Group Sessions

The question of how long psychotherapy or groups processes take is difficult to answer as there is no standard time. Duration is dependent on a number of factors including: the court order, the nature of a problem and its urgency, personal goals, the personalities involved etc. I work with methods which place great value on efficiency and as such aim to enable solution-building within as short a time frame as possible. Court Ordered Psychotherapy Counseling processes can mostly be wrapped up within 12 or 14 sessions; however some clients have court ordered 52 weeks of treatment. Other times changing the habits of a lifetime for them takes time and practice so it depends on the severity of the case and how the client is responding to the treatment.
