Contact details & Information

You can contact me by email at [email protected], or call me at 06 68 52 99 79.
My office is based in Valbonne village: 'Kaleidoscope', 50 route de Nice,
 06560 Valbonne.
The Office - Kaleidoscope
My office is in a therapy space called Kaleidoscope. It is located on the way out of the centre of Valbonne village, towards Biot or Opio. There is one reserved parking space in front of the building. You can also park in one of the free public car parks around the village. On the way east out of the village, the road bends around and I am situated in the building on your right, across the pedestrian crossing. Kaleidoscope is on the ground floor of the building. Head down the steps, and into the first door on your right. There is a waiting room as you come in on the left. Online sessions can be arranged if mobility is an issue. 

Fees
The fee for therapy sessions is between 100€ and 150€, depending on circumstances and type of therapy. Payment is accepted in cash, credit card or cheque at the end of each session. Some private healthcare insurance companies, or mutuelles, reimburse all or part of the costs for psychologist’s fees. Please check your insurance policies, as I can provide receipts if you are entitled to reimbursement from your mutuelle or private insurance. I am not registered with the 2022 government initiative for reimbursement of psychology sessions. You can find out more about this here. 
There is no charge for sessions cancelled with more than 24 hours notice. After that you will be billed unless there are exceptional circumstances.  

Pricing of other interventions, such as assessments, co-therapy or groups can be provided upon request.

Confidentiality
All sessions are confidential. In certain situations, I may need to communicate with other professionals (psychiatrists, doctors, teachers) to support the therapy, aid assessment, and achieve better outcomes for you. This will be with your consent and on a need-to-know basis. The only exceptions to confidentiality are if there is a risk to your own or someone else’s safety, or if required by law.

Supervision
In line with professional codes of ethics and conduct, session content may be discussed in confidential supervision sessions with a senior colleague in order to ensure the work I do is as effective as possible. 
 
Personal information
Written information you give to me, such as letters, questionnaires, or reports, are kept in a paper file in a locked cabinet, which is accessible only by me. I am also the contact person should you wish to ask anything about your personal information. Electronic documents, such as reports, letters, or emails are stored on my password protected computer, which is backed-up on the Apple iCloud. My therapy process notes are saved via a password protected computer in a secure online storage facility, with servers based in the EU and which conforms to EU data protection regulations (GDPR). The purpose of having this information is to aid analysis, reflection and provide pertinent and effective therapy and informative reports for assessments. Your file is kept for 10 years after the end of your work with me in case you return, before it is shredded and/or deleted. Please ensure you keep your own records.
