About me and how I work

I hold an Advanced Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling, and am an accredited member of the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society, working under their code of ethics: NCPS.Com  

I see individual adults of all race, gender, orientation and faith in one-to-one sessions. I work integratively, which means I draw upon a number of different models of counselling, using what best fits you, the client, and your needs. Predominantly however, I use Person Centred Therapy (PCT) and aim to provide a warm, gentle, confidential and non-judgemental space in which we can explore together your inner thoughts and emotions. This non-directive support can enable you to gain new insights and implement desired changes.

New clients are asked to attend an initial consultation. This enables us to decide if we wish to work together and, if so, we would then decide upon the approximate number of sessions before reviewing the process. Once we have agreed to work together each of us would sign a client contract. Each session lasts 50 minutes and sessions are usually held at the same time each week. In order to be GDPR compliant, all clients are asked to sign a privacy policy.

Fees & Cancellation Policy

My counselling fees are £45 per session, including the initial consultation. I invoice weekly and payment is due on receipt of the invoice by bank transfer. Should you need to cancel an appointment please aim to give me 48 hours notice, and I will do the same. My fees are reviewed annually.
