Fees for individual psychotherapy and couples therapy in Bristol
At March 2024 I have increased my fees for the first time in 8 years.
For individual therapy: The first session is two hours and £140-00. All subsequent sessions are one and a half hours and £105-00. The time in between is up to you, and most people choose three or four weeks.
For couples: As for individuals, the first session is two hours and subsequent ones 1.5 hours, with again typically three or four weeks between session. The first, two-hour session is £210 and the subsequent 1.5 hours are £155.

Frequency of sessions and guesstimate of number of sessions
My assumption is that people come for a burst of sessions. On average that is five to ten sessions. Many couples fall pretty well in that range. Individuals rather more frequently come for longer than that.
Please forgive my necessary imprecision. Everyone of course wants an idea of what’s what. At the same time every therapist needs to be certain to not hold out any kind of promise, any kind of prediction, any kind of dream, or anything else of any kind that can’t in reality be assured.
There’s no commitment to a fixed number of sessions.
My first session is two hours, and the rest 1.5 hours, both for individual psychotherapy and couples therapy. One hour sessions run out much too soon.
It’s up to you the time interval between appointments. For both individual therapy and relationship therapy people mostly choose three weeks or four weeks apart, or occasionally at the beginning two weeks.
Subject to availablility of popular time slots, you do not have to keep to a fixed time slot for each visit.
