Additional information
If clients need to use the lovely private space that I rent out there is an increased charge of £8 to cover costs.
In my experience clients usually need to attend a minimum of six sessions before a review, for there to be evidence of therapeutic change. However the client can end sessions whenever they are comfortable to do so.
