My fees currently range from £30 to £100 per session, depending on the time, frequency and format of sessions. Fees are payable by cash or cheque at each session, or by cash, cheque or BACS transfer on a three-session advance schedule.
If you decide not to attend a session, I will offer you alternative session times within the same working week, subject to availability and given notice of at least 24 hours. If I am then able to use your cancelled session for another client, I charge a nominal administrative fee of £10 for each such cancellation. Otherwise, I charge for all missed and cancelled sessions.
