Fees


Therapy and Consultation
The fee for an initial 50 minute initial assessment is as stated in the appointment offer. After this first session, treatment sessions are 50 - 60 minutes. Standard fees range from £100-200*. If sessions are longer than 60 minutes the basic fee could change on a pro-rata basis.  It is up to my discretion regarding any changes to charges. My prices usually increase every couple of years due to inflation and increased living costs. Where this does occur, I will notify  well in advance.


I  charge the same hourly rate on a pro-rata basis for other professional services. Other services may include reading or writing reports, telephone conversations exceeding 15 minutes, attendance at meetings, consultations with other professionals upon your request, and preparation of records. I will endeavour to respond to brief messages and emails. However, longer messages or emails requiring a substantial response will be charged in the same way as other work carried out.


Supervision

Practice Supervision is charged at £70* per hour. EMDR or Clinical Supervision  (for trainee or qualified clinical psychologists) is charged at £125* per hour. Cancellation fees apply.


Litigation
If you become involved in litigation that requires my participation, you will be expected to pay for my professional services, even if I am required to testify by another party. I charge £200* per hour for preparation and attendance at any legal proceedings.

Payment
Payments are required in advance of each session. Payment can be made via  electronic payment or upon prior agreement in cash at the start of the session.  Payment must be made on time, in full, and without any deduction, set off or counterclaim. Cancellations with less than 7 days notice will incur a fee up to and including the full amount of the session.

In the event that an account is outstanding, I will write to you reminding you of the payment amount required and request the payment within 3 days of receipt of the letter. If I write to you there will be a £30* administration fee added to your bill. If the amount remains outstanding after that time, I will refer the matter to my debt collection agents, which will incur a surcharge of 15% of the debt, plus VAT at the prevailing rate. You agree that you will be legally liable to pay us that surcharge, and that payment of the same can be enforced against you in court. You also agree to pay interest at the relevant reference rate provided for under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998, which interest is payable both after and before any judgement of the court and continues to accrue.
