The Practicalities
Location
My practice rooms are based in Central Manchester and Chorlton. Both clinics are easily accessible using public transport links. My clinic in Chorlton has free on-street car parking. If your appointment is for my central Manchester clinic you may have to use the NCP car park. The closest is the one on Chatham Street. Enter Postcode M1 3AY into your sat navigation device which will take you straight to the car park.
My Manchester clinic is wheel chair accessible and has a waiting area, toilet facilities and whilst waiting you can help yourself to a cup of tea. The clinic is also manned by reception between the hours of 09:30 am - 5.30. After 5.30 pm – as you enter the building press the intercom to your left for 518. I will come down to meet you at the front door. Please note that I cannot buzz people up directly. This is a security feature. It will take me a couple of minutes to get down to the entrance. Any enquiries please contact me on 07999769617.
My Chorlton clinic on the other hand is not wheel chair accessible and hasn’t got awaiting area or reception staff. Please bear this in mind. However, it does have a toilet facility. There are coffees and shops you can visit if you arrive early.
Remote treatment session – If you wish, you can continue with your treatment by phone or on Skype. If you are out of the country in a different time zone we can agree a mutually convenient time for you to call me. Other than that the telephone contact is made by me.
Fees
My fees are £90 - £120 per session payable at the beginning of each appointment. The payment can be made by cash or cheque. You can also make payments in advance if you wish.
Group rates are £90 - £120 per each group session. The group runs for 1.5 hours.
Cancellation policy: I often require 24 hours notice to cancel your appointment.
Concessionary Rate
As a counsellor and psychotherapist, I believe therapy should be available to anyone that needs it. I chose this profession in order to make a difference. On a case by case basis I do offer revised rates for those that are unemployed or haven’t got the means to afford therapy otherwise.
The first practical step
It is not uncommon to feel apprehensive and vulnerable when considering therapy. That's why I'm happy to talk with you on the phone about whether counselling would be suitable for you. I also offer a free 30 minutes session to take a brief look at what you might like to talk about and to answer any questions you may have. Just give me a call on 07999769617 or email me ( ) and we can set up a time to meet and discuss how I can help. If you can get to Manchester, or have a phone or computer, we can talk to each other. I look forward to hearing from you.
