Cancellation Policy
I do have a cancellation policy which we will discuss in more detail in our first session.
Regular counselling sessions are weekly and take place at the same time and on the same day and last for fifty minutes.
If you cannot attend your regular session for some reason, I ask for at least 24 hours notice of intention to cancel. If you are able to provide notice in advance of this time period then the session fee does not apply. Late cancellations and no shows will be responsible for the fee.
