Working with me

I ask my clients to complete some pre-work, so we have already made some progress before the first session. I will send this pre-work via email, for you to complete online. Please note this pre-work should be completed at least 24 hours before our first session (or on a Friday if your session is on a Sunday) for me to have time to prepare.

Sunday: 9am to 5.30pm
Monday to Thursday: 8am to 5.30pm

I use a self-service online booking system that allows you to view and book sessions. You will be given access to the system once you have contacted me using the ‘Contact’ section at the top of the page.

I usually see individuals once per week. It is difficult to say how many sessions you will need (everyone is different). However, a program is tailored to your needs and we will discuss this during your first session.

I usually see you together for the first session and then I see you both individually for one session so that we can do individual work, before we resume joint sessions. If further individual work is necessary, we will discuss this together.

It is difficult to say how many sessions you will need (every couple is different). During the sessions we will explore what triggers you both, how you deal with the ‘cycle’ in which you end up and how you can correct behaviours which hurt you both. Of course, it is not a quick fix, further work is often needed. But it is a good start.

• Sessions for individuals are 1hr 30mins. The rate per session is 1250 AED

• Sessions for couples consist of:
  1. Individual sessions that are 1hr 30mins. The rate per session is 1350 AED
  2. Joint sessions that are for 1hr 30mins. The rate per session is 1350 AED

Some of my clients get their fees reimbursed by their medical insurance. I don’t deal with it directly. It depends on the insurance. I can produce a stamped receipt on request.

I request a 48-hour cancellation notice. If this is not possible, I reserve the right to make the following charges.

• Less than 48-hour notice given – 50% of the cost of the session
• Less than 24-hour notice given, or client fails to attend (forgotten or missed appointments) – full cost of the session

Please note that I don’t offer any session over WhatsApp or emails between sessions, unless it is absolutely urgent, or it is related to sessions’ logistics.

It is my intention to ensure that all aspects of our work should, wherever possible, remain private and confidential. However, if I consider a client (or other individuals connected to them) to be at risk of harm, it is my ethical duty to share this information with the relevant professionals, and to inform the client of said duty. If a client reveals knowledge of and/or involvement in a serious crime, then special consideration would be applied to such a case.

Sessions are not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. As a complimentary therapist, as opposed to an alternative one, I recognise the importance of working alongside conventional medical practitioners. In certain circumstances (e.g. where there is also a known medical condition or prescribed treatment) I will need a referral letter from your Doctor or may request permission to contact your Doctor prior to the commencement of the therapy sessions.
