How does it work?

Clients are invited to attend weekly counselling at a time that is mutually convenient for the counsellor and client. This time is generally fixed to the same time each week although, where possible flexibility can be offered to those who need it due to work patterns, child care commitments etc.

A really important part of the counselling is the space it takes place in. I work in an informal setting and draw on a range of techniques and resources to support my clients in getting to the difficulties they are facing. How long your counselling will last really depends, and it is something that we review constantly through out our time working together. Counselling is a choice, a difficult choice at times and one you may often question, but counselling is the client’s space and I respect this deeply in the way I work.

Sessions last for 60 minutes and take place weekly. Sometimes clients need a longer session and flexibility is needed to accommodate this so I charge by the hour.

Equally I recognise that for some clients help might be needed between sessions. For those that need this I do offer email support and a weekly check in time by phone can be arranged.

Please inform us as early as possible if you need to change or cancel an appointment. Session feels are billed if the session is not cancelled at least 48 hours before the scheduled appointment time.
