I want to hear and understand what is troubling you, in order to to support you through this time so you can move forward in your life. Please be assured, no issue is too small when it is affecting you.
Working with both long and short term clients, I offer a free initial 30 minute chat where I can explain how a little more about me and how our counselling sessions might look, as well as enabling you to ask further questions to help you establish if I may be a good fit for you, because as with everything in life your choice of counsellor should be your choice.
Its important to note that it is not my practice or position to diagnose mental health disorders, however I may refer you to your GP if I am concerned for your wellbeing.

Counselling FAQ's
FAQ's
What Happens in the first session and do I have to pay?
We can arrange an initial 30 minute call free of charge where we will talk about your expectations of counselling, your goals or reasons for seeking counselling, and how we might work together. This is the time for you to figure out if we are a good fit. If you are comfortable we will make a further appointment which will be chargeable.
What happens if I decide to go ahead with further sessions?
At the end of the 30 minutes you can decide if you wish to make further appointments with me and we will arrange them at this time, however I also appreciate that this can be a daunting step so you can go away and think about it and make a further appointment at a later date.
If you do decide to make an appointment please call or email. I will add that I cannot always answer immediately but leave a message and I will get back to you as soon as I can.
How many sessions will I have?
If, after our initial session, you decide to continue, I usually offer six sessions in the first instance. For some people this may be enough, however, depending on your circumstances, you may require a longer period of working together, all of which will be reviewed on a regular basis to ensure you are getting what you are looking for from the sessions .
What does counselling involve?
Counselling is a journey of discovery, enabling you to tell your story, at your own pace.
How long before I feel better?
Everybody's journey is different, and its rare that clients feel instantly better after one session, although some do; however you are more likely to feel tired, both physically and emotionally, especially at the start, as talking about things you have held for a long time can be challenging. But, just like anything worthwhile, the more effort you put in the more positive the results will be.
Where will our sessions take place?
I am currently offering online and telephone counselling.
How much does it cost?
My fee is £45 per session, payable through bank transfer 48 hours prior to session.
Can I get discount if I buy my sessions in bulk?
Yes. I offer package deals - please ask at time of booking or send me an email.
How long do sessions last?
Each session is 50 minutes.
How do I book a session?

Additional Information
In a crisis
Online counselling is not sufficient support if you feel you are in crisis.
Signs of crisis may be feelings or thoughts about suicide or self-harm towards yourself or another.
If you feel this way and feel you need immediate assistance please call NHS24 on 111, or dial 999 or contact your local accident and emergency department at your nearest hospital and ask to speak to someone from the crisis team.
Alternatively contact the Samaritans, they are available 24 hours a day by telephone on 08457 90 90 90 or by email on jo@samaritans.org
