Fees and appointments
Fees
My fees are currently £35 to £40 per session (a session is 50 minutes long, but the initial session is 60 minutes).
Making your first appointment
You'll usually get in touch with me by telephone on 0779 288 3972 or by email at dee.lintern@linterntherapy.com. If you phone you might get the answerphone, especially if I'm in a counselling session. Please leave your name and number and I'll get back to you quite quickly.
In your first appointment you'll talk with me about whether counselling is appropriate to your needs (this first appointment is without further obligation on either side). We'll probably also talk about:
- The time, cost and duration of any further sessions
- My approach
- Confidentiality
- A regular review of sessions
By the end of this first appointment, you can decide if you wish to continue to work with me. Being comfortable with your counsellor is essential and will enable you to get the best out of the work we might do together. I will also give you a copy of a working agreement which details the above information. This is then signed by both of us.
Further sessions
We'll discuss a schedule of further sessions. You may feel you require a fixed number of sessions, or perhaps that you might want to work with me over a longer period of time. This will be discussed,and will be your decision.
When arriving just knock on the door and I will show you in. Currently there is no waiting area so although I encourage punctuality for each session please do not attend early.
