My therapy room is at 35 Brock Street, Bath BA1 2LN.
Brock Street is in the centre of Bath, between the Circus and the Royal Crescent. There is limited street parking but Charlotte Street car park is only a short walk away. I work on the 2nd floor with no lift so if stairs are an issue then please notify me in advance so that we can discuss options.
-
My fee is currently set at £60 per 50 minute session (as of January 2026) and is reviewed in January each year.
Payment is preferred by card in session (all major cards accepted) but alternate arrangements for cash or online payment are available by prior agreement.
I can provide receipts upon request.
-
An initial session serves two main purposes. Firstly, for you to tell me why you are considering therapy at this time. And secondly, an opportunity for us to get to know each other and assess whether I am the most suitable person to help you. If I thought another type of therapy or style of therapist would suit you better I would offer suggestions or a referral. If you felt that we would not be a good fit there is no obligation to continue.
-
Sessions last 50 minutes and are held weekly on the same day and time.
If you arrive late, we still need to end at the agreed time.
Consistent attendance is important for therapeutic progress.
-
All missed or cancelled sessions are charged at 50% of the standard fee. Your regular appointment time is set aside just for you, and I continue to hold that space and its costs even when you are on holiday or sick.
-
Our work is confidential, and I am committed to protecting your privacy. That means I will not share what you tell me with others, except in the context of clinical supervision (see below), which is standard requirement for ethical psychotherapy practice. My supervisor is also bound by confidentiality.
There are, however, important legal and ethical limits to confidentiality. These exemptions include situations where I believe there is a serious risk of harm to you or others, or where I am legally required to disclose (e.g. safeguarding, terrorism, money laundering)
Wherever possible, I would aim to discuss with you first and seek your consent before taking further steps.
-
To further protect your confidentiality, I keep minimal client records consisting of your contact details and a record of sessions attended.
These are stored securely in compliance with General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
-
You are free to end therapy at any time. However, I strongly recommend that endings are discussed in advance and carefully planned, as a thoughtfully processed ending is often an important and meaningful part of the work.
