Frequently asked Questions
How to make a booking? Just get in touch by email, phone or whatsapp and we can arrange a time to meet.
​
How long are therapy sessions Online and at the office? Sessions are 55 minutes.
​
Is Online Therapy as effective? In my experience Online Therapy is just as effective as in person.
​
How does Online therapy work? We simply agree on a time and meet on the agreed platform (usually Skype, Google Meet, Whatsapp video) at that time. Otherwise, the therapy session is exactly the same as a session at the office and lasts 55 minutes.
​
Is it possible to speak by phone before booking a session? Of Course, this can be a good way to answer any doubts and get a sense of whether we might work together. Just get in touch and we can arrange a time for a phone call.
​
What is the recommended frequency of psychotherapy? Ideally it is good to do therapy regularly for a period of time - most people do once a week or once every two weeks.
​
How long does therapy last? This will depend on your objectives and on your concerns. But as a guide most people do between 3-12 months - though some stay longer or take a break and return - and some feel that they benefit from just a few sessions at a moment of crisis.
​
Do you have to make a commitment to a certain number of sessions? No, it is always your choice but I can help to guide you if you are uncertain. As noted above I recommend thinking of doing two to four sessions a month for several months, but it is up to the person.
​
What is my cancellation policy? Cancellations with less than 24hours notice I charge 25€, this enables me to plan my time and control my fixed costs.
​
How can you pay? Cash, Bank transfer or Bizum from a Spanish Bank account. I ask clients to pay either after each session or at the end of the month.
​
Do I work with any health insurance providers? Not directly. But, if your health insurance has a reimbursement policy which allows you to choose providers and you have a referral by a psychiatrist to do psychotherapy then you can ask me for monthly bills which you should be able to use to receive reimbursements from your healthcare provider.
​
Do I offer work experience or internships? I am an individual therapist in private practice, so I do not offer these I'm afraid.
​
I am happy to answer any more questions by email or phone.
