How to make a psychotherapy appointment

Step 1 - make contact
You can contact me by using the contact form or messaging/calling me on 07957677053. You can also email me directly at Hamlin.therapy@outlook.com
Alternatively I am happy to accept a referral from your GP.
Step 2 - attend initial consultation
After you have made contact, I will invite you to an initial consultation which can either be in person or online.
This consultation provides a space for us to discuss the reasons you are thinking of coming for therapy, whether psychodynamic therapy could be helpful for you and whether I am the right therapist to help. The initial consultation is 90 min to 2 hours in length.
Step 3 - start therapy
If having had the initial consultation we both feel therapy is likely to help you overcome your difficulties, then we will start therapy.
Therapy sessions are weekly and are 50 minutes in length.
Fees
Initial consultation - 120 minutes - £120
I charge a flat fee for Initial Consultations. If after the first IC I feel there is a need to discuss things further with you, you will not be charged for a follow up consultation. The purpose of the Initial Consultation(s) is to give you as much space as needed to discuss what has brought you to therapy, for me to hear about your background and for us to discuss your goals for therapy.
Ongoing sessions - 50 minutes - £60 - £100 online
In order to make therapy more accessible to a wider range of people I use a sliding scale for ongoing sessions. In your Initial Consultation we will discuss what would be a manageable fee for the ongoing work.
I keep a few reduced fee spaces for people who are out of work, on low incomes or studying full time, please enquire if you feel you may fit this criteria.
Payment
Fees are payable 1 week in advance via bank transfer.
