Starting Counselling or Psychology Therapy with Finding Space based in Muswell Hill, North London

The referral

You can refer yourself to Finding Space Counselling Psychology Practice by telephoning or emailing us to arrange a consultation appointment. Alternatively you can arrange for your GP or another health professional to refer you.

The consultation session

We offer a free half hour phone consultation and you are welcome to either call or email to arrange this. This time provides you with an opportunity to put questions to us about how we work, or what approach might be helpful to you. Finding the right therapist is very important and if you feel that what we provide is not right for you, we will be happy to offer some recommendations or advice about alternative therapists or organizations that may be able to help.

The assessment session

If you do chose to start therapy the next step will be to arrange an assessment session, in which we will aim to identify the issues you would like to work on and the goals for therapy, including any relevant background information. If after this you feel comfortable about working together, we will agree on a contract for therapy. Whilst some issues may be dealt with in short-term therapy, more life-long, complex problems or personal development may require longer-term work. This assessment session will be charged at the same rate as the following sessions.

The therapy

Our main therapeutic approaches are CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy), psychodynamic, humanistic and CAT (cognitive analytic therapy) informed therapy. However, our training as counselling psychologists allows us the flexibility and creativity also to draw on a wide range of psychological theories and clinical evidence and to integrate other therapeutic models to the individual needs of the client.

The fee

We charge £60 per session payable in cash or cheque at the start of each session, and have a few limited places for a reduced fee service. Cancellations will be charged at the full rate unless 24 hours notice is given. Fees are reviewed annually and are subject to change.
