Coming to counselling can be daunting and I aim to make it as comfortable for you as I can. Following an initial free phone call to meet and discuss how we will work together and what you can expect. We will then agree a date and time for your first session. This first session is charged at the reduced rate of £35 and is a chance for you to experience working together and what our counselling sessions will be like. Subsequent sessions are £50 and usually once a week on the same day and time. The duration of each session is for 50 minutes.
I offer a range of methods to deliver the sessions dependent on your preference. This includes:
- Face to face - short term sessions
- Face to face - long term sessions
