WHEN?
Sessions take place on week days between 10am and 7pm.
Due to high demand for after-school sessions it is often necessary to schedule sessions during school hours. Most schools are willing to accommodate this.

DROP OFF AND PICK UP:
If you are dropping off a child, please be aware that I don’t have a waiting room. There are plenty of coffee shops within walking distance or you can enjoy a walk in nearby Richmond Park.
There is ample on-street free parking.
Please collect children punctually as I may have other clients arriving shortly and it is important to respect their privacy and allow their session to start on time.
Under 16s: If you are happy for your child to travel to/from mine unescorted please let me know in an email before the sessions start.

CONFIDENTIALITY AND SAFEGUARDING:
Confidentiality is important in counselling young people enabling them to open up and share feelings without fear of blame or reprisals or worrying what others will think. However, I retain the right to breach confidentiality if the young person requests it, or if I feel that the young person is suffering, or is likely to suffer or inflict, significant harm.
