Sessions & Fees

Online or In-Person

I can offer psychotherapy via online video call or in-person from my quiet, private therapy room at my home in Birstall, North Leicester. Birstall is located near the A46 Leicester ring road, easily accessible from the north and south via the M1.

If choosing online appointments, it can be useful to ensure you have access to a quiet, private space for your sessions in which you won’t be disturbed.

Session length and duration of therapy

Both online and in-person, psychodynamic therapy sessions are 50 minutes long, while NAPT and EMDR sessions are a little longer at 1 hour.

Sessions are tailored for individual clients and I would normally discuss the overall length of therapy with you at an assessment session. We could then take a more collaborative approach to your therapy, taking into consideration your current difficulties and where you feel you would like be in your life, and exploring different options in achieving that aim.

Booking an assessment session

Please contact me by email at info@diannepole.co.uk, by phone on (07724) 623310, or through my contact form to arrange an assessment session – whichever feels most comfortable for you. If I’m working, my phone will take a message and I will endeavour to contact you within 48 hours for either a brief chat, and / or to arrange an initial assessment session. If you choose to initially contact me by email, please let me know if you would like me to respond to your enquiry by phone, text message or email if you have a preference.

Assessment sessions are charged at £60, and can last from an hour to an hour and a half. This gives us the chance to see if we feel comfortable working together without any obligation.

What will happen on contact?

In our initial phone conversation or emails, we can discuss what might happen when we first meet, and the kind of things we might talk about. We can also discuss the differences between meeting me in my consulting room at home, or having therapy online, and choose which environment feels best for you.
