Frequently Asked Questions
What types of payment do you accept?
I accept card payments, bank transfers and cash to be paid at the end of each session.
What is your cancellation policy?
There is no charge if you cancel or reschedule your appointment with at least 24 hours notice. You will be charged the full session fee, if less than 24 hours notice is given.
How many sessions will I have?
We can work together for a set amount of sessions or have a more open ended approach, this will be tailored to your needs as an individual. We will regularly review how things are going, with the aim that the ending will be planned and prepared for.
How often will I have sessions?
Sessions are usually held weekly and for 1 hour, however session length and frequency can be individualised as some adults may prefer a longer session or more often. Additionally in this financial climate if you would prefer fortnightly sessions we can discuss this during your first session. Feel free to talk to me about your needs.
