Availability and Frequency of Counselling
I can offer week day and evening appointments either in person or online. Each session will last 50 minutes and will often be held on a weekly basis. Having regular weekly sessions helps to build and strengthen the relationship between us. The reliability of having regular sessions over a period of time contributes to a feeling of safety and trust that often allows us to work on a deeper, more effective level.
This is often the level at which we need to work in order to allow healing, growth and change to happen. I also offer fortnightly sessions for individuals who are not able to commit to weekly sessions at this time or have been working with me on a weekly basis and feel ready to have less frequent sessions.
I understand that it is not always possible to attend sessions on the same day every week. If this is the case, where possible, I can offer flexible appointments. I work with clients on a long and short term and time limited basis, there is no requirement to attend a specific number of sessions, this is something we will discuss and review together. To discuss availabiity and next available appointment times, please get in contact
First meeting
I provide a free initial phone call, this gives us an opportunity to find out a little more about each other and what you're looking for from counselling and you can get a sense of how we may work together and if we have mutual availability.
After the initial phone call, we may wish to arrange a first session, this is an introductory counselling session, in order for you to experience what it feels like to be in a counselling session with me and for you to get a sense of whether I am the right counsellor for you.
There is no right or wrong thing to say or to talk about in counselling, you may feel nervous or anxious about our first session. This is completely understandable and we can talk about this and what feels comfortable for you to talk about when we first meet.
Fees
Each session, including the initial session costs £60, this is payable by bank transfer on the day of the appointment and made no later than 48 hours after our session. It is possible to book multiple sessions in a block booking or pay weekly for each session. Kindly be aware, I maintain a 24 hour cancellation policy for counselling sessions. Any cancellation made within less than 24 hours of our scheduled appointment will incur the full session fee.
