Lilian Power Counselling Psychology

Clients contact me either by phone (01473 741780/ 07752278597)or through my email address lilianpower@onlyconnect.freeserve.co.uk to sort out an appointment and discuss fees, at which time I can give you more precise directions for getting to the consulting room if necessary.

I work during the day and for three evenings a week to fit in with patient's other commitments.

Currently my fees for private individuals are from £55 per session (50 minutes).The fee per session for couples is from £70. Institutional fees (Local Authorities, Solicitors, Employee Assitance Programmes, Insurance Companies etc.) are costed out at £100 per hour. These fees are regularly reviewed and clients given two months notice of any increase.

The initial assessment fee for individuals and couples (from £55/70) is payable on the day of the session. Patients then choose whether to pay after I invoice them at the end of the month or to pay weekly. Payment may be made online if that is the preferred method.

The full fee is chargeable if sessions are cancelled within the week.
