What is Group Thearpy?
Groups will be offered to meet demand, this allows people expeirencing similar issues to meet and go through therapy together. Group numbers will usually be kept to 8 clients to 1 therapist to ensure everyone's needs can be met safely. Costs will vary dependent on location, number of sessions and nature of therapy.
Group therapy is avialable to organisation and costs are dependent on requirements.
What does it cost?
Individual CBT is £35 per session. Sessions typically last 50-60 minutes. I don't offer discounts for block bookings.
Payment can be either cash at the end of your session or bank transfer prior to your session.
Late cancellation costs apply, these are explained in the contract during your first session.
Why is your cost below average?
Training and working as a CBT therapist is expensive. You have the inital training, insurance, supervision, admin costs, rent, advertising, profesional membership costs, and personal development.
Despite that I want to make therapy as accessible as possible. Not everyone has £50-£60 to pay every week. I'm also lucky enough that I have an income via a day job that ensures I can keep costs as low as possible.
How can CBT help with Menopause?
CBT has a range of tools that can help manage menopause symptoms. It can be used alongside Hormone Replacement Therapy or on its own.
Is there an age limit?
At present I'm only taking on clients 16 and over. This will be changing following further training.
