Aug 2023: The practice is currently full, and I’m unable to take on new individual psychotherapy or supervision work. (I may be able to take on new work from November 2024 onwards).
Usually, we start with a brief chat on the phone – a chance for you to find out a little more, and ask any questions you have.
We then arrange a free initial session.
– This meeting, of up to an hour, gives you an opportunity to have an experience of the work, to dip your toe in the water, and to get a sense of whether it is right for you.
Sessions are usually weekly, lasting one hour, here in at my practice in Bovey Tracey, South Devon.
We can also negotiate working in different environments if appropriate, for example; working outdoors in the garden, or on Dartmoor.
The cost is £50 per session.
For some people this will seem very good value, and for some people this will not be affordable. If you are interested in working with me, but can’t afford my rates – get in touch and we’ll see what reduction is possible.
Please note my availability in 2024:
I’ll be available for therapy appointments up to January 2024, I’ll then be taking 9 months off, and will be available again from November 2024 onwards.
I will be continuing to offer the body psychotherapy weekends with Judith Salling-Ash during that 9 month period, 2024 dates not yet set – 2023 dates and details here: https://erthworks.co.uk/events/
