What happens at a free initial consultation?

These usually last 20-30 minutes. We will discuss which kind of therapy will be most suitable for you and answer any questions you have. Most people have a gut instinct when they meet others. The free session gives you a chance to weigh me up before you commit to anything.

How many sessions will I need?

There are no hard and fast answers. CBT is an approach and set of tools that you learn to apply to yourself. It generally takes 6-8 sessions to learn this. Hypnotherapy often works in 1-3 sessions. EMDR will usually treat a single episode of trauma in 1-3 sessions.

How long are the sessions?

All first appointments and all EMDR sessions are about 90 minutes in length. Follow up appointments for CBT and hypnotherapy are 60 minutes. Single session stop smoking usually takes between 90 minutes and two hours.

How can I pay?

In cash, by cheque. Patients at the Gloucester Natural Therapies Clinic can also pay by credit card (all major cards accepted).

Are you only available during working hours?

Gloucester clinics are on Mondays and on Friday mornings. Bishops Cleeve clinics are held on Friday afternoons.Roger can also see you at other times by arrangement.
