Fees

Our therapy session fees are listed below. The prices listed, are for sessions held by fully qualified practitioners. Low-cost sessions are available with our trainee counsellors. Trainees are in the final stages of a 4-year training process and are fully supported and supervised by both their training organisation and Next Steps.

Some of our qualified practitioners may also be able to offer limited low-cost sessions. Please enquire with us directly about these options. Occasionally we may receive funding towards specific mental health and wellbeing services/projects. Therapy sessions or activities which fall under the umbrella of ‘community services’ may therefore be fully or partially funded and can offered on a low cost or free basis (subject to the individual conditions agreed with the funding organisation).

We hope to be able to offer these low cost/free services on a regular basis as we become more established.

Cancellation or rescheduling

Should you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, I ask that you provide 48 hours’ notice to avoid incurring a late cancellation fee. Please refer to my full Privacy, Disclosure and Cancellation Policy (available at: https://www.suzigarrod.com/cancellation-policy/) for further details.

Late arrival

If you arrive late, your session time will not be extended, and the agreed fee will still apply.

In line with our therapy centre room hire agreement and Covid-19 risk assessment policies, our practitioners are required to ensure that there is adequate time in between client sessions to ensure that the therapy room is suitably ventilated and that commonly used surfaces are sanitised. There is therefore no opportunity to extend your session time without prior arrangement.
