Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
FEES
Fees for a 50-minute session are £70 per session.
A limited number of lower-cost sessions are available for those on lower incomes. Please enquire about availability. I also offer a 10% discount for those who work in the Emergency services.
Payments can be made by bank transfer at the time of the session.
INITIAL CONSULTATION CALL
If you are interested in CBT/REBT sessions and would like to arrange a free initial consultation call, please email me at aimee@aimeeogdentherapy.com telling me a little about yourself and reasons for seeking therapy. During the call we I will ask you to tell me more about your reasons for seeking therapy and I can tell you more about how I work and answer any questions you might have. If after the call you would like to start working together, we will agree on a date and time for our first session.
ongoing therapy sessions
Therapy works best when attended regularly so I offer weekly sessions at the same time and place each week. Sessions last for 50 minutes. We can book an initial block of sessions or engage in open-ended work. We can build in regular reviews to check you are getting what you want from the sessions.
cancellations
Ongoing therapy occurs on an agreed day and time each week. This space is reserved for you. To make this possible, payment is due for all sessions, including those you cancel. This includes illness, and other unforeseen circumstances. I will not charge for any agreed absences, for which I require at least 1 week’s notice. When I am not available, there is no charge. I will give you as much notice as I can about any absences I know of, such as holidays. If I have to cancel unexpectedly for any reason, I will let you know as soon as possible and do my best to replace the session within the same week.
working online using zoom
When working online, before each session I will email you a link to access our Zoom meeting room.
If you haven’t used Zoom before, please download and register beforehand.
Please consider carefully where to have the session, somewhere uninterrupted and private, with a good internet connection.
ending therapy
You are free to end therapy at any time. It is advisable to plan an ending to the therapy at least a few weeks in advance.
contact between sessions
Like most therapists, I cannot guarantee to be available if you need to speak to me urgently between sessions. If you need a reply before our next scheduled session, please state this clearly in your message. Please note that outside of my normal working hours I might not check my emails or phone.
emergency support
If you are in need of urgent mental health support please go immediately to your local hospital’s A&E department, dial 999, or contact your GP.
