I noticed on web site mine had put hers up a few pounds a couple of years ago, but she still charges me same amount. I once asked her to remind me how much it was and she wasn't sure so I wonder if she keeps clients at the rate they started at. Could be a real bonus if I stay in therapy for years and years!
I understand exactly how you feel, I would have felt the same. If you hadn't handed him the check chances are nothing would have been said. Is it going up a lot? I think I would end up paying but feeling very cross about it. I understand they need to raise fees to pay their bills but like you said a period of warning would have been good. Also saying you don't have to but should if you can would make it really hard for me. Good luck with this. It will be interesting to see what others think
