Consultations

Appointments are usually arranged at my consulting rooms at Newforge Lane, Belfast. Generally these last one hour, but your initial assessment may take one hour and a half. Some therapies may require sessions longer than one hour, but this will be discussed with you in advance. Appointments will be arranged at intervals suited to your circumstances and the nature of your difficulty.

If you do not attend for your appointment, or cancel with less than one full working day’s notice, I reserve the right to charge you for my time. This is necessary because I am unable to fill your appointment with another client.

Fees

£100 per hour, but short consultations of up to thirty minutes will be charged at £60. A report to your doctor can be furnished at no additional cost. All fees are payable on the day of the appointment by cash or cheque, unless payment is through private medical insurance.
