FAQs

What is covered in your free intro call?

I offer a 20 minute phone call or video meeting free of charge to any potential client considering counselling.

I understand that you may have questions or thoughts about the process before a consultation, so this call provides an opportunity to briefly discuss any key concerns.

Who are you registered with?

I’m a fully registered member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP).

How long does each therapy session take?

Each session lasts 50 minutes and takes place at the same time and day each week. As sessions begin promptly, please do your best to arrive at the scheduled time. I’m unable to extend sessions or offer a waiting area, so arriving on time helps us make the most of our work together.

How should I prepare for a session?

To make the most of your session, consider jotting down key thoughts, feelings, or questions in advance. This can help guide our conversation and ensure we cover what matters most to you.

What can I expect in my first counselling session?

Your first session is an exploratory conversation where you'll share your story and we begin to pinpoint your goals. We create a safe space for you to express your thoughts and feelings. By the end, we'll review key insights and talk through the next steps—whether that's scheduling another session or considering alternative support options.

How is confidentiality maintained?

All sessions, whether in-person or virtual, adhere to strict confidentiality guidelines in line with British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) standards. Your privacy is of utmost importance.

What happens if we feel we are not a good fit?

If we feel that we might not be the right match, we can explore your needs during the consultation. I’ll be happy to offer alternative options that may be a better fit for you.

What if I have to miss a session?

If you need to cancel a session, please give at least 72 hours’ notice to avoid charges, as your session slot is reserved exclusively for you.

Do you offer virtual sessions?

In addition to in-person sessions, I offer secure and confidential virtual sessions for clients both locally and internationally. These sessions use trusted online platforms to ensure a seamless and private experience, mirroring the quality of face-to-face interactions.

What is the cost per session?

For in-person and virtual sessions:

£70: Individual Counselling (18+)

£56: Students in Counselling/Key workers/OAPs

​Payment for the initial consultation is kindly requested at the end of the session by cash or bank transfer. A payment plan for regular sessions can be arranged during the consultation. Please note that, unfortunately, we are not equipped to process credit or debit card payments on site.
