Clinic/Appointment hours:
4 Fairlawn Close, Rownhams, SO16 8DT: Monday and Wednesday Daytime, Tuesday and Thursday Evenings. My email address is DrLindsay@hampshirepsychologicaltherapy.com
Current fees
£150 for the first assessment appointment then £100 per hourly session
If a shorter session is appropriate then this is charged on a pro rata basis. Fees should be paid before, at or immediately following a session by bank transfer, cash or cheque. If your fees are being paid by private medical insurance the sessions are normally invoiced directly to the insurance provider.
Initial assessment appointments are usually of an hour and a half duration, thereafter sessions are normally 1 hour; 55 minutes of therapy and 5 minutes of administration. If additional consultation by telephone or email is required this may be discussed at the session and may be charged at the normal fee rate on a pro rata basis.
Late or missed sessions
Please arrive promptly at your agreed session time, if you are late it may not be possible to extend and your session will therefore consist only of the remaining session time. If you would like to extend a session the additional time over and above the time booked is payable. If you miss a session without 24 hours notice then the full cost is payable.
Cancellations
24 hours (one working days) notice of cancellation needs to be given once a session is booked otherwise the full cost of the session will be charged.
If you need to cancel or change an appointment I can be contacted confidentially by email at DrLindsay@hampshirepsychologicaltherapy.com or on my mobile 07806 787133.
Confidentiality
Your right to confidentiality is strictly observed in all circumstances except where I believe that there is a significant risk of harm to yourself or others. In this case I will discuss this with you but reserve the right to inform outside agencies as appropriate.
Psychologists are required to attend regular supervision sessions in order to maintain the quality of their work. Individual issues are discussed but confidentiality is maintained i.e. clients are not identifiable and personal information is kept to the minimum necessary for clinical understanding.
Data protection
As part of my practice, I hold information about all of my clients including their name, address, date of birth etc. This information is held in a database and is never shared without permission. Under the data protection act, you are entitled to access to your personal records at any time and the right to request that your information be deleted. If you would like further information on this, please let me know.
