Having made it onto this website many of you will know what counselling entails but for those who are unsure this page is here to explain a bit more about how it works.

​

Counselling provides a safe and confidential space for you to talk about your issues and concerns. As your counsellor I will help you explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences so you can develop a better understanding of yourself and work through any difficult emotions or experiences or anything that is troubling you.

​

As counsellors we do not give opinions or advice or prescribe medication instead we try to help you understand yourself and help you find solutions - whether that’s making effective changes in your life, processing some of your uncomfortable feelings or difficult experiences or finding ways of coping better with any presenting issues.

​

Each therapy session lasts for 50 minutes and usually takes place at the same time each week. Sessions will either face to face or online or a mixture of both. Before committing to your first session I ask each client that we have a 15 minute telephone or video call where we can meet each other and both gauge if we will be able to and want to work together, I also ask that a referral form is filled in with details of your GP, emergency contact and previous counselling experience. Everything discussed within your therapy session is confidential unless there is a safeguarding concern.

​

Each 50 minute session costs £65. If you are unable to make a session all I ask is that you let me know at least 48 hours before our session. If this does not happen you will be charged £30.
