Frequently Asked Questions

Session Cost?

I charge £65 per session for individuals and £120 for couples. Please pay asap, via BACS within 24 hrs.

Sessions last between 1 and 1 and a quarter hours depending on need. Initial sessions are longer so we can do some therapeutic work on day one..

Sessions areonly ever set up one at a time, This is because we may complete our work in just one session or things may take longer.

I will not ask you to commit to weekly slots or a series of sessions.

You are free to end our work together at any point.

Face To Face, Telephone or Online?

I offer face to face or a combination, with zoom,depending on your location and time pressures..

Trauma and Phobia are best worked with in person but Zoom is possible if absolutely necessary.

Telephone sessions may be arranged if no other options are available.

The Next Steps?

Please call/email me to set up a brief chat so we can decide whether we would like to work together.

I will take a very brief description of the issue(s) you would like to bring to counselling.

We will agree a first session, date and time. If working online, I will send you a zoom link shortly before we start.
