Location

I offer both in-person and online psychotherapy.

In-person sessions are offered in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, UK and in Cornwall, UK. Specific details of locations will be provided at the time of booking.

For online sessions I use Zoom, a secure encrypted online video platform.

Frequency and Length of Sessions

Initial sessions (the trial therapy) are normally 2 hours in length. Subsequent sessions are either 90 minutes or 60 minutes, to be agreed after the trial therapy.

Typically we meet weekly at first, and then fortnightly or less frequently after that. But everyone is different and we wait until we have completed the trial therapy before deciding on the frequency of sessions.

Block Therapy

ISTDP is also offered as block therapy. This means longer sessions (2-3 hours each) over two or three days when we meet for an intensive block of treatment. These are usually in-person rather than online.

Fees for ISTDP Psychotherapy

Please enquire about my standard fees.

Some reduced fee spaces are available.

Cancellation Policy

If you need to cancel your session, please be aware that the following terms apply:

Less than 24 hours notice: full fee applies

Less than 48 hours notice: 50% of the fee applies

More than 48 hours notice, or in an emergency, I am always happy to try and find an alternative time to meet if circumstances mean you are unable to keep our scheduled meeting time. Please enquire.

Video recording and data protection

ISTDP sessions are video-recorded so that I can review our work together.

You will receive a video-recording consent form at the beginning of our work which gives more information. I take data security very seriously and recordings are stored on an encrypted external hard-drive and deleted after reviewing.
