Our Contract
The agreements behind our work
A short, plain outline of how we'll work together, so nothing has to be guessed at. We'll go through it together before you decide anything.
How we meet
Sessions are in person near Queens Park in Brighton, or online via Zoom. We usually meet once a week for 50 minutes, and we can review how often that suits you as we go.
Fees
My standard fee is £65 for a 50-minute weekly session. We can discuss your financial context if you request a reduced fee.
Cancelling a session
Cancellations need 48 hours' notice, otherwise the full fee applies. Life happens, and we can talk about anything that comes up.
Confidentiality
Everything you bring is confidential within the BACP Ethical Framework. The only exceptions are if there is a serious risk of harm to you or others, or where the law requires it. I'll explain this fully at our first session.
Taking a break or ending
You can pause or stop our work at any time. I'd always encourage you to say so, even if it feels difficult, because that conversation is often part of the work itself.
Keeping you safe
If you are in crisis, please call 999 or Samaritans on 116 123 (free, 24/7). I'm not able to offer out-of-hours support, and we can plan together for moments when you need more than our sessions can hold.
If anything here doesn't sit right with you, please tell me. This is a conversation, not a set of rules handed down.
