1. Approach To Therapy I will use established methods to complete a full assessment of your problems, develop a joint understanding of how your problem affects you personally, agree a treatment plan, deliver evidence based psychotherapeutic techniques and teach you how to apply these new techniques in your everyday life. I will discuss each stage of the therapy process with you and  ensure that you understand the approach and the reason for applying the agreed techniques. I will only use therapeutic techniques that are completely safe and relevant to your problems.

​

1. Sessions. Sessions normally last between fifty to sixty minutes and will usually take place on a regular weekly basis. The total number of sessions will depend on the nature of the problem and the agreed treatment plan, but will usually involve between six and twenty individual appointments.

 

2. Goals for Therapy. My approach involves identifying and committing to specific therapeutic goals. I will help you with this process and you will be encouraged to make a firm commitment to undertaking cognitive or behavioural exercises and assignments outside and between sessions.

 

3. Ending Therapy Your progress towards achieving your therapeutic goals will be regularly reviewed and this will help determine the duration of therapy. Your therapist will normally expect to discuss ending therapy a minimum of two sessions prior to the agreed end date.

 

4.  Confidentiality. All information shared during therapy remains anonymous and completely confidential. The only circumstances in which a therapist may divulge confidential information is if it is judged that you present a potential risk to yourself or another person. In these circumstances, the therapist will if possible discuss this with you first. In the interests of safety however, the therapist retains the right to break confidentiality without prior consultation should they consider the matter urgent.

 

5. Clinical Supervision All professionally qualified therapists are required to attend clinical supervision in order to ensure that you receive the best possible service. Any clinical information shared in supervision will not include your name or personal details and will be treated confidentially.

 

6. Ethical Standards. All  therapists are fully qualified members of the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Therapy (BABCP) and bound by the BABCP's ethical code of practice. These standards are available to view at www.BABCP.co.uk

 

7.Charges. The current charges are £75.00 for a 60 minute session. 90 minute sessions will be charged at £110.00, however discounts are also available depending on the number of pre-booked sessions and advertised promotional offers. Full payment must be sent in order to secure your appointment slot. 

 

8.Cancellations If for any unforeseen reason it is necessary to cancel an appointment, we will endeavour to provide you with a minimum of 48 hours notice. You will be required to attend all booked sessions promptly at the time and date agreed. If for any reason you are unable to attend an agreed appointment, you must also endeavour to provide a minimum of 48 hours notice by calling or emailing lazorykpsychotherapies@hotmail.com. If you fail to attend agreed sessions without providing 48 hours notice, you will be required to pay a remittance of 50% of the agreed session costs.
