What can I expect?
You may refer yourself to therapy, or you
may ask your GP or another healthcare professional to refer you. An
initial consultation will then be offered. This meeting is an
opportunity to explore together whether a psychoanalytic approach is
likely to be of benefit to you. It also gives you the opportunity to
ask any questions about therapy before you embark on it. This
initial assessment can stir up intense feelings and painful memories
but can also bring relief and hope
It is difficult to say how long therapy will take – it can vary
from several months to several years. Each session lasts fifty
minutes, and sessions may take place from one to three times each
week. This will be discussed in the initial assessment session.
Fees (January 2010)
Ongoing psychotherapy sessions £50 - £65
I sometimes have vacancies for patients who are unable to pay the full fee because they are on a low income.
