Therapy Fees

harley street room Achieving Balance, I offer therapy and counselling services at competitive rates for people in the London area. We start with a free, 20-minute telephone consultation, where we discuss any queries you have about my practice, briefly outline your issues and both decide whether my therapeutic approach is suitable for your needs.

In your assessment session we explore what brings you to therapy and any relevant background information, then work together to work out the best approach and number of sessions needed to reach your therapy goals.

Unlike other therapy practices, I accept card as well as cash payments. I am also a recognised provider and approved therapist with many health insurance companies.

Session Attendance & Cancellation

In order to ensure the highest level of discretion for all clients and to avoid interruption of sessions, please arrive as close as possible to your agreed appointment time.

Our therapeutic relationship requires trust and mutual respect. In agreeing to undertake therapy, you and I agree to attend sessions at the appointed times. Should you be unable to attend a session, please give me at least 24 hours notice – otherwise this will result in you being charged the full session fee. If I am unable to attend a session, I will strive to let you know as soon as possible and I will offer you a convenient rescheduled session.

If you are interested in a free, 20-minute consultation, please feel free to contact me on 020 7096 8854 or email me at martin@achievingbalance.co.uk. I am available from 8.30am to 6.30pm Monday to Thursday, and Friday mornings.
