Angela Rhydderch Counselling Service

Fees and Frequently Asked Questions

Q1 What do you charge?

A1 My fees are £35 for a full one hour session in Godalming and £40 for a one hour session in the centre of Guildford. I offer discounts for students (£30 per session) and if you receive income support (discounts are not available at my Guildford practice).

Fees are payable one session in advance. This means that at the first session, if we agree to continue for further sessions you will pay twice but not at all at the final session. Unless notified the day before cancellations or non-attendance are chargeable in full.

Payment can be made by cheque or cash or in advance by card through Google Checkout. Google Checkout details are on my Payment page.

Q2 How many sessions might  I need?

A2 Initially I contract for 6 sessions usually weekly and review at session 4. Some issues may take longer and this will be discussed on an individual basis at the first session.

Q3 Where can I see you?

A3 I offer counselling in 2 locations, Godalming and the centre of Guildford. There are links to maps of my counselling locations on my How to find me page.

Q4 When can I see you?

A4 I offer appointments Monday to Friday. I can offer appointments in Godalming weekday evenings and daytime, and in the centre of Guildford during the daytime only. I willl see you as soon as I have a vacant appointment.

Q5 How confidential is your service?

A5 Anything we discuss is completely confidential in accordance with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) guidelines of which I am a member. There are a few important exceptions:
1) If you tell me you that you are going to harm yourself or someone else.
2) If you tell me that you intend to assist or commit an act of terrorism.
3) In the very rare situation when I could be ordered by a court to disclose my brief notes (which will not identify your name).
4) If I talk about my work with you with my Counselling Supervisor. If I do this, I will not reveal your name or any other details which could identify you.

Q6 What is a Counselling Supervisor?

A6 All practising Counsellors in the U.K. are required to see a Counselling Supervisor regularly. This benefits you as it ensures that I receive the necessary support to enable me to offer the best service to my clients. If you are discussed, I will not identify your name or reveal any other details which could identify you.
