Frequently Asked Questions
HOW DO I BOOK A SESSION?
You can call or e-mail to request an initial session. I will do my best to find a convenient time for you and can also offer evening and weekend appointments.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
Sessions are 50 mins and cost £45. Some reduced fee sessions are available for students and counselling trainees.
WHAT IF I'M NOT SURE COUNSELLING IS FOR ME?
If you have any concerns or questions about what to expect from counselling, a brief phone conversation can be helpful in deciding if this is for you. If communicating by e-mail feels easier, that's fine too.
WILL COUNSELLING BE CONFIDENTIAL?
Counselling sessions and any communications or enquiries between us are confidential and private.
HOW MANY SESSIONS WILL I NEED?
I can offer both open-ended or short term work. In our initial session we would decide together what best fits your needs. An agreement for six sessions is an approach many people choose to take, with a regular review of progress to ensure it still feels of benefit to you. The choice to discontinue or extend sessions is something you would be free to decide, and you are free to end at any stage.
HOW DO I CANCEL A SESSION?
Cancellations can be made via phone or email. I would ask that 24 hrs notice be provided if possible, or payment for the session will still be required.
