Payment Methods and Booking Sessions
-
☞The booking system used by this practice is designed to eliminate booking hesitancy and to reduce admin time to a minimum.
There are two ways to book appointments:
Secured appointments. To secure a weekly appointment day and time that is allocated exclusively to you every week, simply ensure that your prepayment for next week’s session is in your therapist’s account before or during this week’s session. Cash may also be used. And prepaying up to four sessions at a time is also possible. Appointment slots stop being specifically allocated to you when any prepayment does not arrive on time.
Unsecured appointments are those that are not allocated specifically to you. They are unbooked appointments that are advertised on the website after being offered to waiting list patients. Unsecured appointments are therefore not reliable ways to do weekly psychotherapy and are appropriate only for ad hoc attendance, such as follow-up sessions.

International Bank Transfers are only acceptable for sessions after you have attended an Introductory Meeting because IBAN and BIC transfers tend to be slow and can miss booking deadlines. Please use Paypal, Debit or Credit Card for your first booking if you live outside the UK. ⚠️International payments must be sent in British Pounds Sterling (GBP). As a guide, send IBAN/ BIC payments at least 10 working days before your desired appointment.

If you have a source that is willing to fund your psychotherapy, such as an insurance company or medical service, then there is a flat fee of £100 per session for individuals. Sessions must be prepaid as I no longer issue invoices.
If you can, it is best to pay for your therapy normally if you have a choice, and then seek reimbursement yourself from any funding body.
