Fees and sessions

Practical details before you enquire.

You are welcome to ask practical questions first. You do not need to explain everything in an initial email. You may also want to read about services offered, areas covered, or how to contact Louisa.

Fees

Please contact Louisa for current session fees and availability. She will confirm the fee before any appointment is arranged, so you can decide whether the practical side of therapy feels manageable before beginning.

Fees may vary depending on the type of support discussed, for example counselling, hypnotherapy, or a blend of both. Louisa can also talk through whether online or local sessions are likely to suit you best. The online therapy page explains more about remote sessions.

First Session

The first session is a chance to talk about what has brought you to therapy, what you would like support with, and whether counselling, hypnotherapy or a blend of both feels useful.

You do not need to arrive with everything neatly explained. It is fine to start with what feels most pressing, or simply with the fact that something has started to feel difficult to carry on your own.

Session Format

Louisa offers support locally around Headley, Surrey and online. Sessions are collaborative and adapted to your goals, preferences and pace.

If you are enquiring about hypnotherapy, Louisa will explain what is involved and check whether it feels suitable before it becomes part of the work. You can read more about hypnotherapy for phobias and habits.

Confidentiality

Enquiries and sessions are treated with care and confidentiality. There are some limits to confidentiality where there are legal, safeguarding, professional or serious-risk reasons to share information.

Please avoid sending detailed personal or clinical information by email. A brief outline of what you are looking for is enough for an initial enquiry.

Payment

Louisa will confirm payment arrangements when your appointment is agreed. Many therapy practices ask for payment in advance or at the time of the session, so this will be made clear before you commit.

Cancellations

If you need to cancel or rearrange, please give a minimum of 48 hours' notice where possible. If a cancellation is made within 24 hours of the appointment, a 50% refund will be made.

For fees, availability or first-session questions, email Louisa directly.
