HOW TO BOOK

How many sessions will I need?

Most people find 6 to 8 weekly one-hour sessions of counselling to be the most helpful – weekly counselling provides structure and gives you a chance think about things between sessions. 

 

Some people need to continue with more sessions before they feel ready to move on, others might need just one hour.  What will work best for you is something we can discuss.  You might decide after a while that you’d like greater intervals between sessions.

 

Evening and weekend appointments are available.

Get in touch:

Send me a message at the bottom of this page with a brief description of what you need help with. I’ll contact you with some suggested timeframes for an introductory session.  

 

I might ask a few questions to establish whether this service is appropriate for you, for example, this type of counselling might not be suitable for someone with certain mental health conditions – if this is the case I can discuss this with you.

Free 20 minute introductory session:

You have the opportunity to talk to me for 15-20 minutes to find out if I’m the right counsellor for you – this is a free introductory assessment. 

 

Before you start: make sure you find a safe, private place for your online session so you won’t be disturbed or distracted.

Feeling heard and understood, being really listened to without feeling judged, can make such a difference to the way you deal with life's challenges.

There is a wide range of very human problems I can help you with, including:

Fee of £60 is for one individual. For more than one person, the fee is £70. If you are living with someone with a drug and/or alcohol problem you are no doubt experiencing great worry and stress. I offer support, some practical advice (the dos and don'ts of living with addiction) and, above all, a non-blaming approach.

Supervision for Professionals

As an experienced supervisor I can help you to create a space to reflect on your practice, monitor your part in the therapeutic relationship, recognise that therapist self-acceptance is a pivotal aspect of client growth. The therapist must be self-accepting in order to accept the client.
