How I work:  When we first meet we will try to understand more about what has brought you along. After an assessment session we will make a contract to work for a number of sessions, usually six. We will work with a main focus which is agreed together. Work is reviewed every six weeks to ensure your needs and expectations are being met. Then another contract is undertaken if required.  Some prefer to work in an open-ended way and that is possible.

 

Cancellation:  Two full days are required or a charge of £20 may be made. If you have complicated work/childcare patterns please let me know in advance. If you are funded by Health Insurance or your workplace this cancellation charge can be paid for by you or you may forfeit the session. I will  try to offer an alternative session the same week.
