I offer one to one sessions in person or online. Our initial session is an assessment where we meet either in person or online. We talk about what has brought you to counselling and I learn more about you. It gives you the opportunity to find out about the way I work and for you to feel if you will be comfortable working with me and the process. Our first step is to understand you needs and goals to the develop the right approach together.
My role is to listen, be present with you and reflect together on what comes up during the sessions. We look and explore how the past can affect the present, how you are feeling, thinking and behaving and also looking at how a different way forward might be created in our time together.
I work on a short or long-term basis. Short term is usually for a period of 12 weeks. Long term is open ended with regular reviews. If you wish to proceed after the assessment session we then discuss the best way forward for you. A specific day and time is agreed for our weekly sessions of 50 minutes.
My fees are from £70 per session. Payment can be made in cash per session or invoiced monthly. I also offer some reduced fees.
