Frequently Asked Questions
How can counselling help me?
Counselling gives you a unique space where you can share your thoughts, feelings and concerns, and tell your story, without fear of judgement.
It provides you with a period of time each week where you can focus entirely on yourself and what is happening in your life, and be supported as you make sense of your experiences.
You may gain a different perspective, feel more able to prioritise your own needs, approach parts of yourself or your story with greater compassion, and feel less governed by what other people might think.
Over time, this can help you feel more able to trust yourself, make decisions based on what feels right for you, and move forward with a new sense of empowerment.

How much do counselling sessions cost?
2.
Each counselling session costs £50 and lasts 50-minutes. Payment is made by bank transfer before each session. There is no minimum number of sessions you need to attend, we can review how counselling is feeling for you as we go along and decide together when it feels right to end. I will always encourage you to book a final session with me so that we can bring the work we have done together to a proper close.
Where do sessions take place?
3.
Sessions take place online using Google Meet or by telephone, so you can access counselling from anywhere in the UK. You will need a private space where you feel comfortable speaking and are unlikely to be interrupted.
How often will we meet?
Counselling is often most effective when it takes place weekly, and we will arrange sessions to take place on the same day and at the same time each week. However, if you would prefer to work more flexibly, please mention this when you get in touch and I will do my best to accommodate you.

How can I get started?
Once you have got in touch, we will arrange a free 15-20 minute telephone conversation before you decide whether to begin counselling. This gives you an opportunity to share as much or as little as feels comfortable about what has brought you to counselling, ask any questions and get a sense of whether I might be the right counsellor for you. There is no obligation to book a session afterwards.
