What times best suit you (see our practice times below)

The First Session

Our first meeting will be an assessment session. This will set out the nature of the initial work you would like to do and you can confirm who you would like to work with. Occasionally during the assessment together we sometimes agree it might better for you to work with another counsellor. If so, we will refer you to one of our many contacts throughout the Edinburgh community of psychotherapists, counsellors, and clinical psychologists.

Cancellations

We require 48 hours notice if you are unable to attend a session. Otherwise you are liable for the cost of the session — as we would have to pay for the room hire and would normally be unable to fill an empty session at such short notice.

Individual Therapy

Sessions cost £50 for a 50 minute session.

Couples Therapy

Sessions cost £60 for a 50 minute session, or £80 for an 80 minute session.

Practice Times

Exact slot availability will be discussed when we first talk. We aim to be flexible, understanding of your family and work commitments, however at certain times we may have limited slot availability.
