Any supervision agreement is entered into with the sincerest of intentions to offer the best possible support, catered to the needs and experience of the supervisee. The frequency and length of supervision sessions can be adapted to suit the needs of the counsellor, their regulatory body or the organisation for which they work.
The charge for sessions of one full hour in length begin at £50 with an £65 charge for a 90-minute appointment, depending on time and venue of our meetings. There are concessions available for students and for newly qualified/ practicing counsellors; dependent upon case load levels.
Please note that there is a mandatory introductory session required for all new supervisees, which will last one-hour at a charge of £40. This session cannot be included within your monthly supervision hours.
